San Jose-based startup Arrcus, Inc. emerged from stealth mode to introduce ArcOS, a robust network operating system for disaggregated, scale-out network infrastructure. Unlike many operating systems for so-called white-box networking, ArcOSTM uses open standards and is suitable for just about any networking use case across physical, virtual and cloud network environments. The company also announced a $15 million Series A investment from General Catalyst Partners and Clear Ventures.

In addition, the company revealed that ArcOS enables a comprehensive telemetry solution for network fault, performance management and security use cases. Arrcus is coming to market with an unusually mature network operating system for disaggregated network solutions, making it an EMA Vendor to Watch.
