As AI workloads continue to scale, enterprises are quickly realizing that traditional networking isn’t built for the demands of modern, distributed GPU clusters. To address this, NVIDIA and Aviz Networks hosted a joint bootcamp showcasing the deep integration between NVIDIA Spectrum-X — the industry’s first Ethernet fabric optimized for AI — and the Aviz Open Networking Enterprise Suite (ONES), purpose-built for AI infrastructure orchestration and observability.
1. The First and Only Official End-to-End SONiC Experience Center by OCP
The OCP Experience Center, hosted by Aviz, is not just a lab—it’s the only officially recognized end-to-end SONiC experience center backed by the Open Compute Project. It supports the full SONiC lifecycle from:
- Pre-deployment PoC
- Vendor comparison and integration
- CVE vulnerability scans and posture analysis
- Operational validation
- Post-deployment automation and support
All while staying 100% vendor-neutral and community aligned.
2. Trusted by Top F100 for Real-World SONiC Lifecycle Testing
This isn’t a sandbox—it’s the proving ground where Fortune 100 companies validate and optimize their SONiC deployments across diverse ASICs and platforms. These enterprises use the center to simulate real traffic, test upgrade scenarios, validate CVE fixes, and replicate day-2 operations—before ever touching production.
With built-in CVE analysis, the lab continuously evaluates known vulnerabilities across the stack, giving teams a clear security posture and remediation strategy. Curious how the OCP + Aviz ONE Center supports these top-tier customers? Ping us here to open a conversation with our team.
3. PlugFest Proven + Validated Configs Ready to Deploy
The SONiC PlugFest hosted at the ONE Center proved that this isn’t theoretical. Major hardware vendors, ASIC platforms, and operators came together to test real interoperability and day-2 scenarios in a production-like setting. It tested use cases like IPCLOS, EVPN, RoCE (for AI Fabrics), MC-LAG and Edge use cases.
Thanks to OVD.ai, you also get ready-to-use, 100% validated SONiC YAML configurations—customizable templates you can deploy on your own network with confidence. No guesswork. No misconfigurations.
4. Multi-Vendor, Multi-ASIC, and end to end SONiC Support with ONES-Enabled automation
Aviz’s ONE Center provides a unique setup that includes Broadcom, NVIDIA, Intel, and other ASICs across multiple whitebox vendors—tested daily with ONES and FTAS. This ensures your team can test anything—from basic feature compatibility to regression across software versions, at a pace that matches cloud-native DevOps environments. The quality comes with ONES integrated, so when you move to deployment stages you are well prepared for it:
- Vendor-agnostic orchestration for complex features (BGP, EVPN, etc.)
- 200+ telemetry metrics, global multi-site observability.
- Seamless CI/CD integration via FTAS for regression testing
5. SONiC Is Just the Beginning – AI-Powered Automation Is the Future
SONiC gives you vendor freedom. But what’s next?
Standardizing your automation layer is the natural next step—and that’s where Aviz’s Network Co-Pilot comes in. Once SONiC is up and running, Network Co-Pilot integrates with it to power:
- Closed-loop troubleshooting
- AI-driven anomaly detection
- Multi-vendor configuration workflows
- Security audits
- Auto-generated intents and YAMLs
- Integration with your own workflows and playbooks
And best of all—it’s LLM-ready, letting you use the best open-source AI models to turn your SONiC deployments into AI-powered network infrastructure.
Final Word
There’s no better place to begin your SONiC journey than the OCP + Aviz ONE Center. Whether you’re evaluating open networking, comparing vendors, validating CVEs, or deploying AI-based automation, this is the most complete, future-ready SONiC ecosystem available today.
