Aviz Networks recently discussed the advantages of employing open networking through SONiC, addressing the challenges of complex networks and budget constraints. Key highlights included flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and the elimination of vendor lock-in, making it a salient choice for network operators.

Why consider SONiC?

SONiC decouples the network Operating System (OS) from its hardware, akin to how Linux operates on various computing devices. This separation allows operators to utilize SONiC on white-box switches from several manufacturers, as well as various silicon options.

Benefits of SONiC

  • Choice: Operators have the ability to combine different hardware and silicon brands.
  • Control: The modular structure enables independent upgrades and patches.
  • Cost savings: SONiC can provide 40–60% savings on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to proprietary options.
  • Quality assurance: The Fabric Test Automation Suite ensures deployment integrity through comprehensive testing.

Migrating to SONiC

The presentation outlined various migration strategies ranging from individual device command-line migrations to more extensive implementations across entire fabrics. The incorporation of automated templates and YAML-based configurations supports a smoother transition to SONiC.

Expert Opinions

Kuram Khani of Aviz Networks stated, “Just like Linux runs on any computer, your network operating system should run on any hardware — that’s the vision we’re bringing to open networking.”
