EXEO Group Advances Data Center Modernization with BE Networks Verity
BE Networks is proud to announce that EXEO Group, Inc. (TYO: 1951), a premier Japanese telecommunications and infrastructure services provider, has selected BE Networks Verity for production deployment following the successful completion of a rigorous six-month Proof of Concept.
The decision marks an important milestone in EXEO Group’s data center modernization strategy.
Verity will serve as the unified orchestration and lifecycle management platform for EXEO Group’s next-generation data centers and AI network infrastructure, supporting a high-performance IP-Clos leaf-spine fabric built on open network switches running the SONiC network operating system.
For organizations modernizing their data centers, operational agility, automation, and visibility are becoming strategic requirements. EXEO Group’s successful transition from PoC to production demonstrates the growing enterprise readiness of open networking architectures and the critical role of intelligent orchestration in managing them at scale.
Validating the Full Network Lifecycle
During the PoC, EXEO Group validated Verity across the complete operational lifecycle, from Day 0 provisioning through Day 2 operations. The evaluation confirmed Verity’s ability to automate deployment, simplify complex configuration workflows, and provide end-to-end visibility across SONiC-based infrastructure.
The PoC successfully demonstrated key capabilities including:
- Automated design and configuration of complex network fabrics
- Aprovisionamiento sin intervención manual (ZTP)
- Automated overlay configuration management
- End-to-end fabric monitoring and visibility
- Advanced AI-assisted operations through SensAI, BE Networks’ proprietary Agent AI
These capabilities are central to reducing operational complexity in modern data center environments, particularly as enterprises adopt open networking, AI workloads, and high-performance infrastructure at greater scale.
A Milestone for AI-Assisted Network Operations in Japan
This deployment also represents the first use of BE Networks’ SensAI platform in Japan to assist with live network operations. SensAI brings AI-assisted operational intelligence into the network management lifecycle, helping infrastructure teams improve responsiveness, accelerate troubleshooting, and enhance operational confidence.
As AI infrastructure and data center demands continue to expand, platforms such as Verity and SensAI are helping organizations move beyond traditional manual network operations toward more automated, intelligent, and scalable models.
Supporting EXEO Group’s Open Networking Strategy
EXEO Group’s modernization initiative reflects a forward-looking approach to infrastructure transformation. By selecting Verity, EXEO Group is investing in a platform designed to support the operational demands of SONiC-based IP-Clos fabrics, including advanced environments such as liquid cooling GPU servers for high-performance workloads.
“Throughout the PoC phase, Verity demonstrated strong compatibility with our SONiC-based infrastructure and successfully validated its applicability to advanced environments, including liquid cooling GPU servers for high-performance workloads,” said Hiroshi Sono, Executive Officer, EXEO Group. “In addition, it delivered clear operational efficiencies across deployment and day-to-day management, giving us confidence to proceed with production deployment as part of our data center modernization strategy.”
The production deployment expands EXEO Group’s Verity license footprint to support current data center operations as well as future infrastructure growth.

Enterprise-Ready Automation for Modern Data Centers
BE Networks Verity is purpose-built to manage modern IP-Clos data center fabrics, providing full lifecycle management from Day 0 provisioning to Day 2 operations. For enterprises adopting SONiC-based infrastructures, Verity delivers the automation, orchestration, and visibility required to operate open networking environments with confidence.
“We are honored to be a key contributor in supporting EXEO Group’s pioneering open networking strategy and data center transformation,” said Amir Elbaz, CEO of BE Networks. “The successful transition from PoC to production is a powerful validation of Verity’s enterprise readiness for managing Dell SONiC fabrics across a variety of demanding workloads, and it reinforces our commitment to delivering best-in-class automation and AI-driven operational intelligence to the Japanese market.”
Advancing the Future of Open, Intelligent Infrastructure
EXEO Group’s selection of Verity underscores the increasing importance of automation and AI-assisted operations in modern data center strategy. As organizations prepare for rising AI, cloud, and high-performance computing demands, infrastructure must become more open, automated, observable, and resilient.
BE Networks is committed to helping customers accelerate that transformation with Verity, SensAI, and its broader portfolio of automation, observability, and AIOps solutions for GenAI, core data center, and edge infrastructure.
Through this production deployment, EXEO Group and BE Networks are advancing a shared vision for open, intelligent, and scalable data center operations.
