Kaloom

Kaloom is a networking software company that delivers programmable, cloud-native data center networking and 5G edge solutions for service providers and enterprises.

• Cloud-native data center networking platform for automated, programmable fabric (networking)
• Software Defined Networking (SDN) capabilities for multi-tenant and carrier-grade environments (SDN)
• 5G edge and cloud edge networking solutions for telecom and service provider infrastructures (5G infrastructure)
• Support for hardware offload and white-box switching to optimize network performance and cost structures (network infrastructure)
• Automation, policy control, and lifecycle management for virtualized and container-based network services (network automation)

More About Kaloom

Kaloom focuses on software-based networking platforms that target cloud-native data center and 5G edge deployments, with an emphasis on environments operated by telecom providers, cloud service operators, and large enterprises. Its technology is positioned for scenarios where users require programmable network fabrics, multi-tenant isolation, and integration with container orchestration and virtualized network functions.

The company’s core offerings align with SDN and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) concepts, using a programmable fabric approach to control and data plane behavior. Kaloom’s solutions are designed to work with white-box switches and standard server hardware, which allows infrastructure teams to separate network software from proprietary appliances and integrate networking into broader cloud-native architectures. This model fits data centers that rely on Kubernetes, virtual machines, and service-based workloads, where automated provisioning and policy enforcement across tenants and slices are required.

In the 5G domain, Kaloom positions its software for edge and cloud edge deployments that support low-latency services, distributed user planes, and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC). Its networking software is associated with support for protocols and architectures relevant to telecom networks, such as VXLAN-based overlays, segment routing, and virtual network slicing, enabling operators to map 5G service requirements onto programmable fabric constructs. This allows Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and service providers to run user plane and edge applications closer to end users while maintaining centralized control and automation.

From an enterprise IT taxonomy perspective, Kaloom can be categorized under data center networking, SDN, NFV infrastructure, network automation, and 5G edge networking. The platform’s capabilities for automation, telemetry integration, and policy-based control align with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices and operational models common in cloud-native environments. Its support for white-box switching places it in the open networking and disaggregated network infrastructure segment, where organizations deploy merchant-silicon switches with third-party network operating software to manage cost and flexibility.

Kaloom’s offerings are used in environments that require high-scale L2/L3 virtual networking, multi-tenant segmentation, and integration with cloud orchestration frameworks. By targeting both data center and 5G edge use cases, the company spans traditional enterprise networking categories and telecom cloud infrastructure, enabling a consistent software fabric across central data centers and distributed edge locations.
