UfiSpace

UfiSpace is a developer of 5G network solutions. This includes engineered hardware products, such as white box hardware platforms for telecommunication companies. The company also develops software for everything from hardware BIOS and platform drivers to application-level APIs for the integration of products into a larger network. Additionally, the company provides cloud services and data centers for telecommunication companies.

UfiSpace was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in New Taipei City. Partners of the company have included ADVA, Arrcus, Benu Networks, BeyondEdge, Capgemini Engineering, Credo, DriveNets, EPS Global, Exaware, IP Infusion, Open Compute Project, RtBrick, Stordis, and Telecom Infra Project.

UfiSpace offers end-to-end 5G solutions for telecommunication companies, including the hardware and software products necessary to implement a next-generation network architecture. The company's solutions are built around disaggregation and an open network to reduce the CAPEX and OPEX across a telecommunication network. This allows these networks and telecommunication companies to achieve flexibility for their networks, which is achieved through the separation between hardware and software into a white box platform with cloud-enabled software functions. This gives the telecommunication company an infrastructure that can implement network functions from multiple vendors.

Further, UfiSpace promotes disaggregated networks as they can help telecommunication companies improve and grow their networks exponentially to meet the demand on those networks. Further, these open and disaggregated networks can also allow telecommunication companies the flexibility to integrate new hardware and software into their networks as these products are developed, to help telecommunication companies foster that type of innovation and benefit from it.

UfiSpace offers a portfolio of applications in the data center to fulfill the data traffic growth, especially the growth expected with 5G networks. These include network topology evolution, which offers network function visualization and a software-defined network, in which data centers handle more traffic. For that, UfiSpace offers a spine and leaf architecture based on the CLOS model for data centers to address those issues. In this architecture, the spine layer is the network backbone, and the switches in the spine layer connect to each switch in the leaf layer, which connects to the servers. These networks use open architecture to integrate with all major network operating systems (NOS) and automation tools to build scales of data centers.

Another such solution is UfiSpace's switch architecture transformation, which works to use disaggregation to improve on the traditional chassis solutions for networks that were locked down and proprietary. The development of disaggregated solutions has been partially driven by network users desiring the freedom to select from different suppliers to optimize the data center resources. And it allows both hardware and software to be broken into different modules to increase the flexibility in system configurations.
