Techevolution describes replacing its Pica8 network fabric with an open Community SONiC design on Edge-Core hardware, managed through Aviz ONES, to support spine-leaf networking with symmetric IRB while reducing CapEx and OpEx. The case addresses architecture and operational areas that enterprise network and security teams evaluate in multi-tenant environments.
Research Overview
The post frames the change as a response to requirements for a spine-leaf architecture with symmetric IRB in a multi-tenant managed services context. It ties the update to the need for consistent high-performance delivery for customers ranging from local governments to large enterprises.
Techevolution partnered with EPS Global and Aviz Networks for the move to an open, Community SONiC-based fabric and Aviz ONES management.
Key Findings
The company reports that the transition reduced capital and operational costs compared with the prior approach. It also reports improvements in performance and flexibility for future scaling needs.
The blog attributes operational benefits to Aviz ONES features for enterprise NetOps support, including lifecycle management and telemetry.
Technical Breakdown
In the updated design, Edge-Core switches run Community SONiC and are integrated into day-0 through day-2 operations via Aviz ONES. The post also specifies the use of EVPN-VXLAN in the overlay.
For routing and resiliency, the blog lists BGP for the underlay and control-plane scaling, along with MC-LAG and SAG for resiliency and anycast gateway behavior.
Operational Impact
Techevolution states that open networking reduces license and support overhead for CapEx and OpEx and helps avoid vendor lock-in. It also describes ONES as streamlining operations to reduce “toil and downtime risk.”
On the NetOps side, the post describes day-0/day-1 design, templated deployment, telemetry and drift detection, and backup and restore. It also notes topology-aware comparisons and guided RMA workflows.
Leadership Perspective
Seth Chouinard, Senior Network Engineer at Techevolution, is quoted saying: “Moving to Aviz and SONiC will streamline our operations and significantly reduce our costs. This transition sets a new standard for efficiency and scalability within our network infrastructure”
The blog positions the combination of an open NOS with Aviz ONES as applicable across operators by allowing expansion without wholesale re-platforming.
Techevolution’s case describes moving from Pica8 to Community SONiC on Edge-Core hardware, managed through Aviz ONES, to support spine-leaf designs with symmetric IRB and EVPN-VXLAN while lowering CapEx and OpEx and adding NetOps automation and telemetry.
