Cybermyte Migrates to SONiC with Aviz ONES Support

November 20, 2025

Cybermyte recently detailed its transition from a proprietary network Operating System (OS) to the open-source SONiC platform, highlighting the advantages this shift brings to IT decision-makers.

Risks with Proprietary Network Operating Systems

Utilizing proprietary network operating systems can introduce substantial risks, as reliance on external vendors for stability and support leaves businesses vulnerable to sudden changes. Following an acquisition, Cybermyte's switch vendor discontinued support for its Network Optimization Suite (NOS), forcing the company to consider expensive alternatives or face operational downtime.

Why SONiC Made Sense

Cybermyte opted for SONiC due to its flexibility and support from a diverse vendor community, allowing the company to adapt its network without being constrained by a single vendor's decisions or pricing structures.

Is SONiC Easy to Deploy?

Although SONiC's open-source nature can mitigate vendor lock-in risks, implementing it may prove difficult, especially with vendor-specific builds. Challenges were faced with performance issues and inadequate support from Cybermyte's hardware vendor's version of SONiC.

“Open source is great but the vendor we chose for the hardware, we were using their version of SONiC. The support was lacking.” - Cybermyte, Richard

Aviz ONES Making SONiC Deployment Simple

To address these deployment challenges, Cybermyte selected the Aviz ONES platform to consolidate support across their hardware. This choice provided a singular partner for better accountability.

What Aviz ONES Delivered:

  • Enterprise-grade confidence with 24/7 SONiC support, leading to validated builds.
  • Clear runbooks established for rapid incident resolution.
  • AI-ready network foundation that can scale with future needs.

This approach maintained SONiC's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) advantage while ensuring the stability and predictability essential for enterprise adoption.

“It was unheard of for a third-party support vendor to do that. That really solidified our relationship from the beginning. From day one, they were offering assistance; their support is unparalleled. It truly helped us.” - Cybermyte, Richard
