Cumulus is leading the transition of the data center market from a closed and proprietary environment to one that embraces open, standards-based systems. Unlike anyone else in the market, Cumulus builds networking products purely with Linux. 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, organizations of all sizes can affordably build and efficiently operate their network like the world’s largest data centers. Customers can run their data center networks the way Google and Facebook have done for years — highly automated, flexible and efficient, without all the development time or expensive, specialized hardware. We call it web-scale networking.
Instead of focusing on siloed solutions, Cumulus Networks transform every stage of the networking lifecycle — from architecture, design, build, deployment and operations — with 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 organizations with full network validation and reduced downtime and even extend network visibility into containers.
The network is a critical part of the data center that has traditionally been a bottleneck for 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.
