Arrcus, Inc.

Arrcus is a networking company offering cloud and edge computing solutions. The company's software is designed to connect people, machines, and data to span infrastructure, including routers, switches, servers, and connected devices, to unify manageability and control through a single network solution. Arrcus's Linux-based network OS allows users to build scalable infrastructure across physical, virtual, and cloud network environments. Using a microservices architecture, the network is built to respond to data workload and provide network analytics for users.

Arrcus was founded in 2016 by Keyur Patel, Derek Yeung, and Devesh Garg; it is headquartered in San Jose, California. The company has partnerships through its Partner with ACE (PACE) program, including CoreSite, VMware, PagerDuty, Amazon Web Services, Intel, and CloudTech.

The Arrcus Connected Edge (ACE) platform is developed to provide users with a single network solution that is scalable for users' needs and built to work together, with a platform with integrated monitoring and analytics to offer network visibility with real-time intelligence and predictive analytics. The network is developed to deploy from anywhere and reduce users' operating costs while remaining compliant with open standards. It allows network operators to integrate with third-party automation or orchestration tools. The ACE platform architecture includes a three-layer stack capable of connecting to enterprise data centers and service or cloud providers.

The ArcOS is an internet-scale and independent network operating system built using open standards to offer users a simple, scalable, and secure networking solution intended to provide low latency, fast convergence, and high availability. The ArcOS is built with a mircoservices-based architecture to respond to data workloads and other demands placed on the network. With its open standards, users are able to utilize hardware based on their needs, including existing hardware, and users do not have to rely on proprietary hardware. The ArcOS is built to be modular, capable of using multi-core CPUs to deliver better performance across CPU threads, and allow for easy upgrades or hot patching of specific PSIRTs or other issues without impacting other processes.

ArcOS is designed to enable open integration for the following use cases:

• spine-and-leaf CLos for data center workloads
• IP routing and resilient routing to the host
• internet peering for CDN providers and ISPs
• MPLS and traffic engineering with segment routing
• out of band (OOB) management.

The ArcRR is a route reflector based on the ArcOS and is built to eliminate the full-mesh requirement and build networks that can grow at scale. The ArcRR leverages 64-bit, multi-threaded, multi-process implementation for scale and convergence. It is designed to be modular to allow critical processes to be brought up and down without needing to restart the OS while offering optimized route policy lookup for better routing. ArcRR also offers streaming telemetry capabilities and standardized APIs for programmatic access.

ArcIQ is a network visibility and analytics platform that provides users with real-time views of the networks and connected devices for proactive incident management and faster troubleshooting. This includes granular management and monitoring, including observing and tracking network health across data center, cloud, and edge network devices. The ArcIQ platform also uses built-in artificial intelligence and machine learning to allow organizations to ingest a large amount of data and proactively prevent network hijacks, route leaks, and threat management.
