The San Francisco startup Mode.net has gained another SD-WAN vendor as a customer — FatPipe Networks. FatPipe will use Mode’s SD-Core technology to deliver its SD-WAN service over a global network for corporate customers.
Mode uses a global private network — which it has patched together from partnerships with service providers and also with Ericsson — to deliver what Mode calls its software-defined core (SD-Core). Mode’s SD-Core relies on private fiber links and 32 strategically placed POPs. Mode’s software overlay can route traffic and dynamically adjust to network changes and traffic flows.
