Over 100 Service Providers and Data Center Operators Worldwide Reduce IP-Optical Complexity and Scale AI Data Centers with IP Infusion’s OcNOS® 7.0

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Since its introduction in the first quarter of this year by IP Infusion, over 100 service providers and data center operators globally are leveraging the company’s OcNOS® 7.0 software release to cost-effectively address their critical infrastructure transformations: the urgent need for lossless networking in AI clusters and the rapid convergence of IP and Optical layers to reduce operational complexity.

OcNOS 7.0 is designed for a reality where the network must actively accelerate business outcomes, whether it’s ensuring a GPU cluster stays at peak utilization or helping a carrier collapse their optical & IP layers into a single, cost-effective footprint.

IP Infusion enables operators to reclaim control over their network evolution, add flexibility to their supply chain strategy, optimize hardware utilization, and potentially reduce total cost of ownership by 40–60% compared with closed, vertically integrated solutions. The global AI data center networking market is projected to reach $12.80 billion in 2026, underscoring the need for mature, carrier-grade alternatives such as OcNOS 7.0 to the locked-in proprietary systems offered by vertically integrated vendors.

1. Accelerating AI: Getting the Most Out of Every GPU

In high-performance AI environments, the network can become a “silent thief” of productivity, slowing training jobs and leaving expensive GPUs underutilized, which reduces the return on major AI infrastructure investments. As Ethernet continues to gain ground over InfiniBand in AI back-end networks, OcNOS 7.0 turns the network into an accelerator through an open, scalable architecture designed for greater operational flexibility and TCO efficiency.

2. Service Provider Evolution: Modernizing the Edge and Core

Service providers are currently caught between retiring legacy OTN/LDP gear and the demand for low-latency 5G services. OcNOS 7.0 simplifies this transition by making the network more programmable and resilient. OcNOS 7.0 is purpose-built for Metro Transport and Access Aggregation use cases, supporting high-capacity traffic aggregation across converged IP/Optical transport networks. The release introduces support for the UfiSpace S9502-12SM-NT and Edgecore AS5916-54XL platforms for these use cases.

3. IP-Optical Mastery: Capitalizing on the New Economics of IPoDWDM

IP Infusion has led the IPoDWDM movement for years, and OcNOS 7.0 further empowers users to take full control of their optical layer directly from the routing interface.

“We are humbled by the rapid adoption of our newest software release by new and existing customers around the world,” said Miguel Alonso, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at IP Infusion. “OcNOS 7.0 is designed for a reality where the network must actively accelerate business outcomes, whether it’s ensuring a GPU cluster stays at peak utilization or helping a carrier collapse their optical and IP layers into a single, cost-effective footprint. We are giving our users the performance, economic efficiency, and architectural freedom they need to take control of their network evolution.”
