DriveNets Expands Network Cloud Ecosystem with Leading ZR/ZR+ Optics Solutions https://hubs.ly/Q01mHYnr0 DriveNets Network Cloud is the first DDC/DDBR (Disaggregated Distributed Chassis/Backbone Router) to support ZR/ZR+ optics as native transceivers that can be inserted into any Network Cloud-supported white boxes from leading ODMs such as UfiSpace and Edgecore Networks Corporation, and supported transceivers are from Coherent Inc., Acacia Communications, now part of Cisco, Fujitsu Optical Components (FOC), NEC Corporation. Additional models and vendors, such as Ciena, Infinera, Lumentum and InnoLight Technology (Suzhou) Ltd., are planned to be supported in the future. “This is another great example of the simplicity and innovation that an open routing solution can enable,” said Ido Susan, CEO and Co-Founder, DriveNets. “We are excited to collaborate with DriveNets on their efforts to drive even broader adoption of 400ZR and OpenZR+ modules in disaggregated networks,” said Fenghai Liu Senior Director of Product Line Management at Acacia Communications, now part of Cisco. ”Our technology reduces the footprint of a transmission system into a QSFP-DD form factor,” said Yukiharu Fuse, Executive Director, FOC.
