Open disaggregated networking platform for service providers and hyperscalers
DriveNets builds cloud-native networking software running on standard white-box hardware, targeting the Tier-1 operator and hyperscaler market. The tech stack is deeply specialized—Linux, SONiC, DPDK, RDMA, and BGP/OSPF dominance signal a systems-level focus on carrier-grade reliability and line-rate performance. Active projects span AI/HPC datacenter networking, GPU fabric automation, and a new cybersecurity business unit, indicating expansion beyond core routing into infrastructure orchestration and security enforcement. The senior-heavy engineering org (26 of 44 hires) reflects the maturity required for mission-critical deployments at scale.

DriveNets designs disaggregated networking solutions that apply cloud-native architecture to carrier-grade infrastructure. The platform delivers routing and switching capability by combining standard white-box hardware with proprietary software, addressing the capex and operational complexity pain points of legacy router vendors. Founded in 2015, the company operates from Raanana, Israel, with a 201–500 person team distributed across Israel, the United States, Australia, and the Philippines. The product is deployed across tens of service providers globally and in trials at dozens of Tier-1 operators and cloud providers in North America, Asia, and Europe.
Linux, SONiC, DPDK, RDMA, and standard networking protocols (BGP, OSPF, EVPN/VXLAN, IP/MPLS). Also uses C++, Python, Rust, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Docker, and Jira for development and CI/CD.
