About
Arrcus is a networking software company founded in 2016 by Devesh Agarwal and a team of veterans from Cisco, Juniper, and other networking incumbents, and headquartered in San Jose, California. The company's core product is ArcOS, a high-performance network operating system built from the ground up for disaggregated networking — the model in which software is decoupled from proprietary hardware and runs on white-box switches or merchant silicon from vendors like Broadcom and Marvell.
