Aviz announced that George Tchaparian, CEO of the Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation, joined its Technical Advisory Board. The update matters to enterprise network and security leaders focused on SONiC adoption, orchestration, and fabric-wide visibility.

Board appointment

Aviz said George Tchaparian joined its Technical Advisory Board. The announcement ties the role to guidance on Aviz work related to SONiC enablement and the Aviz ONES offering.

Aviz described Tchaparian’s background as spanning more than 30 years in industry and networking. The post also attributes to him expertise in collaboration and open approaches on the commercial side.

Role in SONiC enablement

The blog positions the board appointment around continued support for SONiC enablement in an enterprise context. Aviz said the goal is to support enterprise adoption of open-source network operating systems.

Aviz stated that the enterprise use case is to replicate outcomes associated with hyper-scalers, including hardware choice, cost savings, and network control compared with proprietary network stacks. The announcement frames these points as benefits of using an open-source NOS.

Aviz ONES capabilities

Aviz described Aviz ONES as a pillar of a multi-vendor SONiC stack. It said ONES adds capabilities above the NOS for orchestration and visibility across an enterprise fabric.

In the announcement, Aviz linked orchestration and visibility to automation across the fabric. The blog presents these capabilities as part of how enterprises can use information and automated processes throughout their networks.

Aviz’s announcement centers on George Tchaparian’s addition to its Technical Advisory Board and connects the appointment to SONiC enablement and Aviz ONES features for orchestration, visibility, and automation. This “Blog Signals brief” is a fact-based summary of the vendor blog.
