Aviz Networks says its DoDIIS 2026 presentation will focus on open networking, Deep Network Observability, and AI-ready infrastructure for defense and intelligence networks. The company links those capabilities to Zero Trust, AI processing, and gradual modernization of mission-critical systems.
Research Overview
The post says defense and intelligence organizations face pressure to support AI, real-time intelligence processing, Zero Trust requirements, and multi-domain operations. It adds that proprietary networking setups have raised costs and slowed modernization efforts.
Aviz positions open networking and enterprise SONiC as a way for agencies to move away from closed systems while using some existing hardware. The blog says this approach allows modernization to happen in stages rather than through a full replacement.
Technical Breakdown
The blog says Zero Trust depends on persistent verification, granular visibility, and continuous monitoring. It also says traditional tools may not provide sufficient packet-level visibility into east-west traffic or distributed environments.
Aviz says Deep Network Observability and Open Packet Broker architecture provide packet-level visibility across traffic that originates, transits, and terminates on devices. The post says this can support threat investigation and compliance monitoring.
AI and ISR workloads
The post says AI, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and advanced analytics workloads require low-latency east-west communications, stable throughput, and end-to-end visibility. It adds that limits in throughput or observability can affect processing time, GPU use, and mission performance.
Aviz says its open networking approach is designed to support AI factories and GPU acceleration with high observability and low-latency throughput. The blog links these networking requirements to mission outcomes in defense settings.
Operational Impact
The post says agencies are trying to sustain modernization while operating under flat budgets. It says open networking may help by broadening hardware choice, simplifying procurement, and lowering total cost of ownership.
The blog also says DoDIIS attendees can discuss enterprise SONiC deployment across multi-vendor networks, packet-level visibility for Zero Trust readiness, and scalable AI fabric requirements. It identifies network designers, security leaders, AI and ISR teams, and procurement staff as relevant attendees.
