Telstra is also a Cumulus customer. “It’s the largest ISP in Australia and their engagement with Cumulus as a customer was critical to their decision to work with us on this financing,” Cumulus CEO Josh Leslie said.

Cumulus’ Linux operating system runs on more than 50 switching platforms from 10 different hardware vendors. The company also sells its own branded turnkey hardware/software system.
