Cisco and Aviz Networks will host an online bootcamp on April 3, 2025 covering how to run SONiC on Cisco 8000 and manage operations with Aviz ONES. The sessions target network architects, engineers, and AI infrastructure teams responsible for AI workload networking.

Research Overview

The vendor post promotes a Cisco 8000 + Aviz ONES SONiC Bootcamp delivered as an online event. It frames the program around implementing SONiC on Cisco 8000 for AI-optimized network operations.

The agenda combines material attributed to Cisco with material attributed to Aviz. It also includes practical guidance on tuning and scaling AI networks using SONiC on the Cisco 8000 platform.

Key Findings

The post outlines the stated purpose of the event as explaining why SONiC on Cisco 8000 is used for AI-ready networking. It also positions the approach as covering observability and orchestration through Aviz ONES.

It says attendees will review integration and deployment models for SONiC within AI-oriented infrastructure. The program also includes examples described as real-world success stories using SONiC on Cisco 8000.

Technical Breakdown

For Cisco-attributed content, the agenda includes deployment models for integrating SONiC into AI infrastructure, plus a session on “Real-World Success Stories.” The post also includes a “Cisco 8000 SONiC Evolution” segment.

For Aviz-attributed content, the agenda lists a live demo of Aviz ONES for observability and orchestration in Cisco 8000 SONiC environments. It also includes automated deployment and provisioning, plus real-time monitoring and troubleshooting via AI-driven telemetry.

Operational Impact

The practical guidance section states that attendees will cover tuning SONiC for AI workloads, including congestion control, RoCEv2, and high-bandwidth applications. It also calls out network design topics for scaling AI clusters on Cisco 8000 SONiC fabrics.

The post further specifies a focus on implementing PFC and ECN for network-wide traffic control. It presents these topics as approaches for minimizing latency and maximizing throughput.

Event Details

The event is scheduled for April 3, 2025, and is delivered in an online format. The post provides a registration link under “Register Now.”

It states that the bootcamp is intended for network architects, engineers, and AI infrastructure leaders, including those evaluating SONiC for the first time and those already deploying it. It positions the content as covering how SONiC works on Cisco 8000.
