Aviz Fabric Test Automation Suite

Can SONiC Be as Reliable as My Current Network OS?
Yes. With comprehensive testing and continuous validation, SONiC can deliver enterprise-grade reliability comparable to, and often exceeding, traditional proprietary network operating systems. Aviz Fabric Test Automation Suite (FTAS) validates every stage of deployment through configuration verification, feature validation, interoperability testing, scale and resiliency testing, telemetry validation, and real-world workload simulations. Running continuously in the Aviz + OCP ONE Center, FTAS executes automated production scenarios across Enterprise Data Centers, OpenStack, Kubernetes, EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, and AI Factory deployments, generating validation reports, continuously updated reference architectures, and a 24×7 operational dashboard that gives customers confidence before deployment and throughout production.

What is FTAS and How Does it Work?
FTAS (Fabric Test Automation Suite) is Aviz's automated validation platform for SONiC deployments. It validates complete customer environments before and throughout production by recreating real deployment scenarios across Enterprise Data Centers, Edge, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and AI Factory networks. FTAS currently executes 500+ automated validation scenarios, covering Layer 2, Layer 3, EVPN-VXLAN, virtualization, telemetry, ONES Agent lifecycle, interoperability, scale, and resiliency. Every validation produces comprehensive reports together with continuously maintained reference architectures that help customers deploy with confidence and operate reliably over time.
Simulate Your Exact Network icon

Simulate Your Exact Network

At the Aviz ONE Center, we recreate your exact configurations, SONiC running across multiple vendors, ASICs, and hardware models. This ensures we're testing in a setup that matches your network, with your preferred switches, in a true multi-vendor environment. FTAS validates complete production environments across multiple switch vendors, ASICs, NICs, operating system versions, and hardware platforms, ensuring end-to-end interoperability before deployment.

Test Your Operations in a CI/CD Manner icon

Test Your Operations in a CI/CD Manner

We execute production-grade operational testing including scale, stress, EVPN convergence, VM mobility, route withdrawals and insertions, telemetry validation, failover, failback, ONES Agent lifecycle testing, and platform resiliency. Every scenario mirrors the conditions your production network experiences every day, giving you confidence before every deployment or upgrade.

Keep It Running, Always icon

Keep It Running, Always

FTAS isn't a one-time validation. It continuously runs in the Aviz ONE Center, automatically revalidating supported platforms with every SONiC release, platform update, hardware qualification, and software patch. Customers receive updated validation reports and reference architectures that simplify upgrades and reduce operational risk.

Enterprise-Grade Quality Beyond Community Tests icon

Enterprise-Grade Quality Beyond Community Tests

Community SONiC testing focuses primarily on unit and feature validation. FTAS extends this by validating complete production deployments, including interoperability, telemetry, virtualization, large-scale fabrics, resiliency, operational workflows, and multi-vendor platform integration. It bridges the gap between community validation and enterprise production readiness.

Why Do You Need FTAS?
Compare SONiC Options
Need to Compare SONiC Options Quickly?
FTAS lets you test and compare multiple SONiC solutions automatically, no extra staff, no long setup times. You get reliable, repeatable results fast, making Proof of Concept (POC) projects quick, accurate, and stress-free.
Worried About SONiC’s Rapid Changes
Worried About SONiC’s Rapid Changes?
SONiC moves fast, and so does FTAS. With every new release or platform, we run continuous quality checks so your network performance keeps improving without sacrificing stability. You stay ahead, not stuck catching up.
Afraid of Upgrade Surprises
Afraid of Upgrade Surprises?
FTAS fits directly into your CI/CD pipeline, running full regression tests before you upgrade. That means you know in advance if changes will break anything, making upgrades predictable, smooth, and drama-free.
Want Quality Baked in From Day One
Want Quality Baked in From Day One?
With FTAS, quality starts early. We work directly with SONiC vendors to embed high standards in the design phase, not after launch. This “shift left” approach reduces future bugs, lowers costs, and ensures your network is built right from the start.
What Experts Are Saying
Testimonial quote
WHITEBOX MANUFACTURING COMPANY
VP Products
I'm excited about our partnership with Aviz Networks through their FTAS. This tool has transformed how we meet customer quality standards, ensuring our products are deployment-ready and fit seamlessly into customer networks without issues. With FTAS, we've dramatically shortened qualification cycles and boosted our SONiC compatibility, streamlining our path to market and setting new standards in product efficiency and reliability.
Validated Solutions, Reference Architectures & Test Reports
FTAS doesn't just test SONiC, it validates complete, deployable solutions and continuously keeps them current as hardware, NOS, NICs, and platform versions change. For every solution, FTAS produces test reports plus a living reference architecture (the “Helm chart” of what works with what: versions, components, and integrations) so you can deploy with confidence and keep operating reliably.
