Heavy Networking 599: DriveNets Taps Disaggregation To Build Networks Like Cloud (Sponsored)

If you’re the average network engineer working on the average network, you probably haven’t shifted to the disaggregated model. Most folks are still buying and installing vertically integrated networking hardware and software. That is, if you buy a box from say Juniper, you bought it with Junos on board. Integrated. Our sponsor today is DriveNets, and we’re talking about why it’s time to take the disaggregated model–where you buy whitebox hardware and put a network operating system of your choice on it–seriously. Along the way, we’re going to hit DriveNets network architectures and operating models, and get you thinking about why disaggregated networking might make sense for you, and the business you run a network for. Our guests are Dudy Cohen, Sr. Director, Product Marketing and Run Almog, Head of Product Strategy at DriveNets.
