Arrcus

Arrcus is a hyperscale networking software company founded in 2016 to enhance business efficiency through superior network connectivity. The company's flagship product is the Arrcus Connected Edge (ACE) platform, which offers core, edge, and multi-cloud routing and switching infrastructure. ACE provides best-in-class networking with a flexible consumption model and low total cost of ownership.

A key component of ACE is FlexMCN, a multi-cloud networking solution that creates a unified overlay fabric from edge to multi-cloud. In January 2024, Arrcus added Egress Cost Control (ECC) to FlexMCN, which can potentially reduce cloud connectivity costs by up to 40%. FlexMCN with ECC provides visibility into egress costs and dynamically routes traffic to destinations with the lowest costs across hybrid, colocation, and public cloud environments.

Arrcus' technology is designed to work with white-box hardware from multiple manufacturers, freeing customers from vendor lock-in. The company's solutions support leading enterprise, cloud, and communications providers with software-defined routing and switching. Arrcus claims to own more than 215 patents on its networking technology.
