Open networking software for the modern data centre
Cumulus is leading the transition of the data centre market from a closed and proprietary environment to one that embraces open, standards-based systems. Unlike anyone else in the market, they build networking products purely with Linux. Our customers can leverage its standard interfaces and rich ecosystem to achieve a new level of control of cost and operations — previously accessible only to the largest web-scale operators.
By transitioning to open networking, we believe organisations of all sizes can affordably build and efficiently operate their network like the world’s largest data centres. Our customers can run their data centre networks the way Google and Facebook have done for years — highly automated, flexible and efficient, without all the development time or expensive, specialised hardware. We call it web-scale networking.

Cumulus Networks is redefining data centre networking.
Instead of focusing on siloed solutions, at Cumulus Networks, they transform every stage of the networking lifecycle — from architecture, design, build, deployment and operations — with their two core products, Cumulus Linux and Cumulus NetQ. Cumulus Linux is the most flexible network operating system available because it runs on Linux. Our customers access flexibility, efficiency, speed and choice with a unified stack and a feature set designed for the digital age. With Cumulus NetQ, we empower organisations with full network validation and reduced downtime and even extend network visibility into containers.
The network is a critical part of the data centre that has traditionally been a bottleneck for the rapid deployment of applications. From provisioning and deployment to monitoring and operations, we believe in completely transforming the industry by enabling a web-scale IT architectural approach.
