Powering Neoclouds, AI Infrastructure and Large Enterprises: BE Networks in 2026 YTD
2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for BE Networks. We’re doubling down on the toughest operational challenges in AI-scale networking, delivering automation, observability, and intelligence where it matters most for neoclouds and next-generation infrastructure operators while continuing to grow our large enterprise install base.
H1 2026 Highlights
In the first half of the year, we delivered strong momentum through our close collaboration with Dell Technologies and with neocloud leader IREN on their large-scale Dell- and NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure. Together with NVIDIA DSX Air, we’re helping IREN simulate and validate network architecture for one of the industry’s largest AI GPU deployments (50,000+ NVIDIA GPUs) before the physical build-out even begins. This approach gives our customers the confidence to move faster while lowering their deployment risk.
On the technology front, we delivered significant advancements with Verity 6.6, including our industry-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable agentic capabilities and the continued evolution of Satori, our observability platform. Satori stands out as the only solution on the market that provides visibility and insights across network, compute, and storage, giving operators a reliable and comprehensive view of large-scale deployments.
To support our goals, we have increased our engineering team’s size, enhancing our capacity to handle complex projects and serve our customers more effectively at scale.
Combined, these efforts reflect our core focus on turning complex, real-world networking challenges into automated, reliable, and observable outcomes.
H2 2026: Scaling for the Future
We started the second half of 2026 with a major milestone: achieving OEM status with Dell, supporting capabilities to offer a multi-NOS fabric management solution from SONiC to Cumulus, delivering fabric automation, observability, and Agentic AIOps.
We will continue in the second half of the year to build directly on the foundation we’ve built so far, with a strong emphasis on growth and autonomy.
We have recently established a new office in Raleigh, North Carolina. This site will serve as the hub for developing our own “Dark Factory” capabilities for fully autonomous, AI-agent-driven infrastructure operations. This includes the development of advanced root cause analysis, predictive maintenance, self-healing infrastructure, and much more.- We’re also standing up a new Forward Development Engineering (FDE) team. These elite deployment engineers will focus on the most complex and strategic customer deployments worldwide, ensuring rapid, high-quality execution while bringing field insights directly back into product development – our own Green Berets!
This effort is part of our broader mission: assisting organizations, including neocloud, AI infrastructure operators, and large organizations, in transitioning from the complexity of modern networks and siloed operations to genuine confidence in their infrastructure. Through ongoing innovation in hyperautomation, observability, and autonomy, we’re focused on delivering real solutions to the challenges that matter most to our customers.
A New Era Begins: Welcome to BE
Today we make it official: BE Networks is now BE.
This is more than a name change. It’s the reflection of our expanded reality. What began as a networking company has evolved into a comprehensive AI infrastructure platform. Verity now orchestrates high-performance fabrics spanning network, compute, and storage. Satori delivers unified observability across the full stack. Our collaboration with Dell, NVIDIA, and IREN powers some of the world’s largest GPU deployments. And our new Dark Factory initiatives are building fully autonomous, AI-agent-driven operations.
The technology, team, partnerships, and our relentless focus on solving the hardest infrastructure challenges remain unchanged. Now our name has caught up with everything we’ve already become.
We are BE, and it’s only the beginning.
