Aviz Networks launched the Deep Network Observability (DNO) Interop, a joint effort with Celestica, Cisco, Dell, Edgecore, and NVIDIA to evaluate software-first observability solutions across various multi-vendor infrastructures.

The initiative addresses the need for an observability model designed to support evolving requirements in AI-driven network environments. This model emphasizes openness, intelligence, and scalability to accommodate data center, edge, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) fabrics.

The corresponding software components include Open Packet Broker for packet processing, Aviz Service Node for Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and metadata extraction, and Network Copilot, a private AI solution powered by a Large Language Model (LLM). These solutions operate on standard hardware platforms and support acceleration with NVIDIA BlueField®-3 Data Processing Units.

The interop involved testing these software elements on hardware from Dell, Celestica, Cisco, Edgecore, and NVIDIA. Its outcomes encompass comprehensive reports comparing traditional methods with the software-first stack, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses, migration guidance, and customer use case evaluations.

Gavin Cato, Head of Portfolio Solutions and CTO at Celestica, said, “Our high-performance switching platforms provide an ideal foundation for open observability. Partnering with Aviz highlights how enterprises can achieve visibility — using Celestica switches and a software-first stack.” Jeremy Foster, GM and SVP at Cisco Compute, said, “As AI drives new demands on infrastructure, customers want solutions that are open, scalable, and easy to integrate. Cisco UCS is built for exactly this kind of open innovation. Aviz Service Node and Network Copilot—running on UCS with NVIDIA acceleration—showcases the power of combining open software with trusted enterprise platforms to help customers modernize for the AI ERA.” Nanda Ravindran, VP of Product Management at Edgecore Networks, said, “As customers deploy AI clusters, achieving peak performance with scale-out network infrastructure becomes essential. An open, scalable, and interoperable Distributed Network Operating (DNO) capability is key to meeting these demands. Edgecore’s AIS800 family of open Ethernet switches, combined with open software, empowers enterprises to build innovative and cost-effective network solutions for both AI workloads and traditional cloud data centers.”

Aviz Networks detailed plans to present the interop results, including technical comparisons and migration insights, in an upcoming webinar scheduled for August 7th.
