Techevolution updated its network infrastructure by transitioning from a Pica8-based system to an open SONiC framework managed with Aviz ONES, aiming to enhance flexibility, reduce costs, and support complex multi-tenant architectures essential for enterprise and government customers.

Overview of Network Transition

Techevolution formerly relied on a Pica8 solution that Decentralized Identity (DID) not fully accommodate the demands of a spine-leaf architecture with symmetric IRB necessary for uniform traffic routing and performance. To address these limitations, they collaborated with EPS Global and Aviz Networks to implement a SONiC-based fabric utilizing Edge-Core hardware, which provides a more flexible and scalable network foundation.

Technical Features and Protocols

The updated infrastructure integrates advanced protocols such as EVPN-VXLAN overlays, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for the control plane and underlay, as well as Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group (LAG) (MC-LAG) and Subnet Anycast Gateway (SAG) to support resilience and anycast gateway capabilities. Symmetric IRB facilitates efficient Layer 2 and Layer 3 inter-VLAN routing, maintaining consistent traffic paths across tenant environments.

Operational and Financial Impact

The migration to Community SONiC with Aviz ONES management has reduced both Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and operational costs by eliminating proprietary licensing fees and decreasing support overhead. The network operations suite includes automated deployment, telemetry, drift detection, and guided workflows, contributing to lower operational complexity and enhanced maintenance processes.

Scalability and Future Readiness

The architecture supports future scalability by leveraging a hardware-agnostic NOS and vendor-independent design principles. The fabric is described as prepared for latency-sensitive workloads and Artificial Intelligence (AI) demands by ensuring deterministic performance and segmentation. This approach allows for phased expansion without necessitating complete network replatforming.

Customer Insight

According to Seth Chouinard, Senior Network Engineer at Techevolution, the transition to Aviz and SONiC improves operational efficiency and reduces costs, establishing a new operational framework for the company’s network infrastructure.

This Blog Signals brief provides a fact-based account of Techevolution's network modernization through open networking and software-defined solutions, highlighting technical adjustments, cost considerations, and deployment results relevant to enterprise technology decision-makers.
