KEY FEATURES
Flexible Network Platform
Microservices network OS with analytics lets operators build infrastructure on their platform and deploy anywhere.
Microservices-Based Architecture
ArcOS™ features a microservices-based, scale-out architecture designed for modern data workloads. It offers full service isolation, resiliency, and flexible deployment on bare metal, VMs, or containers. Completely independent from the Linux kernel, ArcOS™ can be harmoniously packaged with any Linux distribution to suit specific environments.
Flexible Hardware Freedom
ArcOS™ frees you from proprietary hardware, enabling use of any white-box or brite-box to build switches or routers. It supports diverse form factors and all port speeds (1G to 400G), runs physical, virtual, or container workloads, and operates seamlessly across datacenters, PoPs, and the cloud.
Modular Performance & Resiliency
ArcOS’s modular, multi-process architecture leverages multi-core CPUs for superior performance. Independent restart of routing, RIB, and FIB processes ensures high resiliency, while native patching enables seamless upgrades and hot fixes without downtime.
Plug-and-Play Automation
ArcOS™ simplifies boot, upgrade, and debugging with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) over IPv4/IPv6. Built on open APIs and fully programmable, it supports YANG, OpenConfig, and REST APIs, making integration easy and scalable for network operators.
Best-of-Breed Analytics
ArcOS™ delivers real-time, deep visibility analytics for on-premise or cloud networks. It automates management with out-of-the-box, policy-driven FCAPS controls covering fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security.
Deployment Flexibility
ArcOS™ enables open integration across diverse use cases, including Spine-Leaf Clos architectures 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, and out-of-band (OOB) management.
PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
Transforming Network Infrastructure
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
