IP Infusion Partners with Horsebridge Network Systems to Transform Networking for UK’s Internet Service Providers

OcNOS-based solution provides disaggregated networking alternative to legacy systems with faster time-to-market and greater agility

IP Infusion, a leading provider of network disaggregation solutions for telecom and data communications operators, today announced a partnership with Horsebridge Network Systems, a builder of innovative networks in the UK, to bring the benefits of disaggregated networking to Internet Service Providers (ISP). IP Infusion’s disaggregated networking solutions, based on the OcNOS® network operating system, offer service providers an alternative to traditional legacy network vendors.

Horsebridge's significant experience in the telecom market brings innovation to their customers with its best-in-class systems with crucial protection against DDoS attacks.

The partnership aims to grow the customer base within the UK’s Altnet community, a growing sector of independent digital infrastructure providers who are working together to create cohesive interconnected next generation networks. These network operators are challenging the traditional networking approaches with disaggregated networking which enable them to achieve unprecedented agility, choice and drive down the cost of their infrastructure.

IP Infusion’s carrier-grade disaggregated networking solutions allow network operators to create innovative services and accelerate new revenue streams. Its validated network operating system, combined with the choice of best-of-breed hardware, supports a diverse range of networking use cases. With IP Infusion’s advanced support services, network operators can migrate seamlessly to an end-to-end disaggregated networking solution that delivers lower Total Cost of Ownership.

Since 2000, Horsebridge has supported the development of critical network within the Altnet, corporate and public sector markets by building, operating and managing networks for its customers. Through this partnership, IP Infusion and Horsebridge will provide choice of best-of-breed platforms, operational services, and help design, build and operate the customer networks with cost efficiency, enabling customers to focus on their core business.

“We are delighted to add IP Infusion into our partnership program and look forward to working with them to offer a valued alternative in network provision for both our existing and new clients,” said Neil Woolerton, CRO of Horsebridge Network Systems.

“With the extensive network competency in designing, deploying and supporting complex networks, Horsebridge’s local team of experts can help to eliminate end-user concerns and pain points of migrating to new systems and help accelerate their network disaggregation,” said Atsushi Ogata, President and CEO of IP Infusion.
