Get an in-depth look at these capabilities
ArcOS transforms the way companies build and manage their networks with internet-scale routing support, fabric-wide network telemetry, and standards-based APIs for programmatic access
Freedom of hardware choice
Supports a multitude of hardware options in terms of form factors (physical, virtual, or container), chipsets, speeds, and port types
Real-Time visibility and security
Provides management operations automated through FCAPS controls and offers native streaming telemetry capabilities
Deployment flexibility
Enables open integration for several use cases across the data center, the edge, and the cloud from scale-out switching to internet-scale routing
Feature Freedom of hardware choice
ArcOS liberates you from reliance on proprietary hardware. Network engineers and architects can use any white-box/brite-box to build a switch or a router, making the most of existing investments. Supported physical network devices include numerous form factors and span all port types – 1G/10G/25G/40G/100G/400G. The solution runs any type of workload – physical, virtual, or container and operates in any location whether it be a Datacenter, a PoP, or the Cloud.
Feature Real-Time visibility and security
Whether the networks are managed on-premise or in the cloud, operators need to visualize the entire network through real-time analytics with Deep Visibility. The ArcOS software provides many management operations automated through Policy-Driven FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security) controls available out of the box. In addition, it has native streaming telemetry capabilities that allow the streaming of the control-plane, forwarding plane, and device environmentals related data.
Feature Deployment flexibility
ArcOS enables open integration for the following use cases:
- Spine-Leaf Clos for Datacenter workloads
- IP Routing and Resilient Routing to the Host
- Internet Peering for CDN providers and ISPs
- MPLS and Traffic Engineering with Segment Routing
- Out of Band (OOB) Management
