IP Infusion, a global leader in open networking solutions, announced the release of OcNOS® Data Center (OcNOS-DC) 6.6.1 on July 9, 2025, in Santa Clara, California. This disaggregated networking software, designed for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads, runs on Broadcom’s Tomahawk 5 chipset, powering high-performance, low-latency Ethernet-based data center fabrics on ONIE-enabled Edgecore AS9817-64D and UfiSpace S9321-64E white-box switches with 51.2Tbps switching capacity.
OcNOS-DC 6.6.1 supports AI/ML workloads with high-performance networking.
Runs on Broadcom Tomahawk 5 chipset with 51.2Tbps switching capacity.
Features Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB).
Integrates with Kubernetes and Ansible for real-time orchestration.
Enables cost-effective scaling and flexibility in optics selection.
Partners with HYPER SCALERS for GPU-intensive AI network deployment.
As AI/ML training clusters grow, traditional networking struggles with intensive east-west traffic and stringent latency requirements for GPU workloads. OcNOS-DC 6.6.1 delivers lossless connectivity through advanced features like Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) over Layer 3, Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), Data Center Bridging Capabilities Exchange Protocol (DCBX), and Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB). These ensure high-throughput, low-latency performance critical for AI-driven networks.
OcNOS-DC 6.6.1 enhances AI workload management by exporting real-time gNMI telemetry to orchestrators like Kubernetes, enabling dynamic job allocation when network paths are overloaded. Integration with Ansible automates lossless queue reservation, priority-to-traffic-class mapping, and dynamic load balancing, optimizing GPU server rack performance for AI/ML tasks.
Leveraging disaggregated open networking, OcNOS-DC 6.6.1 offers cost-effective scaling, flexibility in optics selection, and agile data center buildouts through competitive bidding. “OcNOS Data Center sets a new standard for AI/ML networking, delivering unparalleled performance and scalability,” said Kiyo Oishi, CEO of IP Infusion. “By combining Broadcom’s Tomahawk 5 chipset with our advanced software features, we’re enabling customers like HYPER SCALERS to build agile, cost-efficient networks.”
HYPER SCALERS, a key partner, has leveraged OcNOS-DC 6.6.1 to deliver high-performance GPU-based services. “The AI-optimized features, seamless orchestration integration, and disaggregated architecture allow us to scale efficiently while maintaining the low-latency, lossless connectivity our customers require,” said George Cvetanovski, Founder and CEO of HYPER SCALERS. This release builds on IP Infusion’s 25-year legacy of providing carrier-grade, cost-efficient networking solutions trusted by over 600 OEMs and end users.
IP Infusion’s OcNOS-DC 6.6.1 positions it as a leader in AI/ML networking, offering a scalable, high-performance solution that reduces total cost of ownership while meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation data centers.
