These partnerships build on the recent investment by Hitachi Ventures in Arrcus as well as Arrcus’ collaboration on the SRv6 MUP initiative with SoftBank.
"We are thrilled to witness the rapid adoption of Arrcus’ networking solutions in Japan for 5G and data centre routing and switching built on our industry-leading ArcOS platform and are excited to launch our partnerships with ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation, NESIC and APRESIA," said Shekar Ayyar, chairman and CEO of Arrcus.
"As we continue to revolutionise networking infrastructure, our focus remains on delivering cost-effective and highly performant networking solutions."
