DriveNets Expands AI Fabric Portfolio with New High-Capacity Platforms

July 01, 2026
DriveNets has introduced two new AI networking platforms, the 2600SL and 2601S, built on Broadcom’s Tomahawk 6 ASIC, offering up to 102.4Tbps capacity and designed for large-scale AI infrastructure deployments.

DriveNets has expanded its AI Fabric portfolio with two new networking platforms, the DriveNets 2600SL and 2601S, announced in a press release. Both platforms are designed for large-scale AI infrastructures supporting hundreds of thousands of XPUs and are based on Broadcom's Tomahawk 6 ASIC. They provide a total capacity of 102.4Tbps across 64 ports of 1.6Tbps and will begin shipping in the third quarter of 2026.

The DriveNets 2601S features air cooling, while the 2600SL offers a fully liquid-cooled design for improved thermal efficiency. The platforms support flexible configurations including 64x1600Gbps, 128x800Gbps, 256x400Gbps, and 512x200Gbps, allowing deployment in various network topologies such as two-level and three-level fat tree architectures.

DriveNets stated that the new systems extend its AI Fabric capabilities to support scale-up, scale-out, and scale-across configurations. The software stack includes performance optimizations across NIC drivers, kernel, and Collective Communications Library layers. The platforms are managed through the DriveNets AI Cluster Orchestrator, which oversees provisioning, benchmarking, and operations at scale.

The company also offers DriveNets Infrastructure Services for deployment and optimization support. According to Broadcom, pairing its Tomahawk 6 silicon with DriveNets' AI Fabric provides high performance and reliability for large AI clusters based on open Ethernet architectures.
