White Box and features hybrid, centralized or
distribute network support; scalable, modular
high-performance network; and a robust data
plane built on merchant silicon.

P Infusion is featuring disaggregated
networking solutions using OcNOS™, a fullfeatured commercial network operating system
for network operators, at CommunicAsia.
"As the demand grows to onboard more
users, deliver enhanced experiences and
increase web-scale performance for multiservice transport, network edge is becoming
a new frontier to deliver user performance
on demand at low cost per bit," says Atsushi

Ogata, President and CEO of IP Infusion.
"OcNOS is redefining open networking, offering
the potential to open up the edge at low cost
per bit to create differentiated services with the
performance they need to be competitive."
With the OcNOS network operating system,
