Aviz outlines enterprise adoption of SONiC with Easy Deploy support

Aviz says SONiC is being adopted beyond hyperscalers, using Aviz Easy Deploy, Monitor, and Support to support multivendor switching, source-code level control, and 24/7 assistance. The update targets enterprise network and security leaders evaluating network OS standardization and operational risk.

Research Overview

The article describes Aviz engagement with partners and customers who report adopting SONiC to manage network operations. It frames SONiC as an open-source network software stack intended for use across multiple industries, including finance and telecom.

It also points readers to a panel video interview hosted by SDxCentral with customers Techevolution and 1984 and partner EPS Global.

Key Findings

Aviz attributes network flexibility to SONiC’s option set for hardware, vendors, and deployment models. The article states SONiC can support different vendor ecosystems and avoid being tied to a single vendor choice.

On costs, Aviz reports helping businesses cut costs by half compared with traditional solutions using SONiC as a foundation. It also cites CapEx and OpEx reductions of up to 50% in a corresponding Q&A section.

Technical Breakdown

The article says enterprises can manage SONiC at the source code level, with the ability to choose hardware over time. Aviz states it normalizes metrics from a fabric, including ASICs and operating systems, to support multivendor observability for NETOps operations.

It further states the Aviz support stack provides operating control through interfaces such as a Cisco-like CLI, REST APIs, or in-house controllers. The article positions Aviz Easy Deploy, Monitor, and Support as a plug-and-play approach for deploying SONiC in enterprise environments.

Operational Impact

Aviz describes operational readiness through end-to-end support intended to reduce concerns about how adding switches affects NETOps operations. It also states customers can receive 24/7 support as part of the enterprise support model.

In its Q&A, the article states SONiC is hardware-agnostic and can work with Cisco, Arista, and NVIDIA hardware. It also links the positioning of SONiC to adoption as a de facto open standard for disaggregated networking.

Aviz’s brief presents SONiC as enterprise-capable through multivendor support, source-level control, and an operational support stack delivered via Aviz Easy Deploy, Monitor, and Support, with reported CapEx and OpEx reductions.
