Justin Dustzadeh, CTO, Equinix
Aviz is the partner of choice for SONiC enablement for the enterprise, who is looking to replicate what hyper-scalers have done, and benefit from the open-source NOS in terms of hardware choices, cost savings, and control they can exert on their network when compared to proprietary stacks. Aviz ONES, a key pillar of our multi-vendor SONiC stack, brings new capabilities for enterprises on top of the NOS for orchestration and visibility to utilize information and automation across their entire fabric.
“Justin’s expertise in large scale networks and technological transformation will multiply our team’s ever growing expertise in open source networking and increase our focus on delivering excellent solutions and support to our customers.
