Why SONiC is Ready Not Just for Hyperscalers

When you think of SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud), it’s often associated with hyperscalers—the giants in tech like Google and Microsoft that demand unparalleled scalability and customization in their network infrastructure. But what if I told you that SONiC is no longer just for hyperscalers? What if I told you that enterprises—yes, Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized businesses, even finance and telecom industries—are now tapping into the power of SONiC to transform their networks?

At Aviz, we’re witnessing this shift firsthand. We recently met with our partners and customers, who shared how they’ve successfully adopted SONiC to enhance their network operations. The results are clear—SONiC’s open-source architecture is providing flexibility, scalability, and significant cost savings across industries. Discover more about this transformation by watching our panel discussion in a video interview hosted by SDxCentral, featuring our customers Techevolution and 1984, along with our partner EPS Global.

Flexibility Through Choices

One of SONiC’s strongest suits is its ability to give businesses choices—choices in hardware, in vendors, in deployment models. Unlike traditional, proprietary solutions that lock you into a particular vendor or set of hardware, SONiC opens the door to a wide array of options. Whether you prefer Cisco, Arista, or NVIDIA, SONiC supports them all, ensuring that your network infrastructure is as flexible and adaptable as your business needs it to be.

With SONiC, you aren’t tied to a single vendor. This freedom encourages innovation and fosters a competitive ecosystem, where businesses can pick and choose the best components to suit their specific needs.

Control Over Your Network

Another key factor that sets Aviz apart is the level of control it offers. Enterprises can manage SONiC at the source code level, which means they can choose the hardware they want at any time. At Aviz, we normalize metrics from your fabric including ASICs, and operating systems to achieve the multivendor observability, giving you the control to deploy any switch you want without worrying about how it will impact your NETOps layer. But what truly makes it enterprise-ready is the end-to-end support stack provided by Aviz. Our platform ensures that customers gain full operating control, whether they prefer a traditional Cisco-like CLI, REST APIs, or even their own in-house controllers. And we understand that enterprises need more than just flexibility—they need an experience that’s simple to use and supported 24/7.

That’s why we’ve developed Aviz Easy Deploy, Monitor, and Support, a plug-and-play solution that brings SONiC to enterprise environments with ease and without the hassle of vendor lock-in.

The Cost Savings You’ve Been Looking For

Cost has always been a critical factor in any IT decision, and SONiC shines here. By moving away from expensive, proprietary solutions and embracing the open-source model, companies can dramatically reduce both capital and operational expenditures. In fact, using SONiC as a foundation, we’ve helped businesses cut costs by half compared to traditional solutions.

A Future-Proof Solution

Perhaps the most exciting part of SONiC’s evolution is that it is on the path to becoming the Linux of networking. Much like how Linux started with a small group of adopters and evolved into a mainstream operating system, SONiC is following a similar trajectory. From a select few hyperscalers to widespread adoption across industries, SONiC is proving it’s not only scalable but also future-proof.

At Aviz, we’re proud to be leading this transformation alongside our partners, customers, and the open-source community. With our support stack, we’ve perfected the recipe for deploying, managing, and scaling SONiC in enterprise environments, offering the same robust experience you’d expect from legacy OEMs.

Ready for the Enterprise

In short, SONiC is no longer just for hyperscalers. It’s ready for enterprises of all sizes, offering flexibility, control, and cost savings that simply can’t be matched by traditional solutions. And with Aviz Easy Deploy, Monitor, and Support, we’ve made SONiC accessible to virtually any organization, making it the go-to choice for network infrastructure transformation.

As more Fortune 500 companies embrace SONiC, we’re confident that the rest of the industry will soon follow suit. So if you’re looking for a scalable, cost-effective, and flexible network solution, it’s time to look at SONiC—not just as the future of networking, but as the solution that’s ready for your enterprise today.
