Aviz Welcomes Zaid Kahn To Its Technical Advisory Board

Aviz delivers the industry's first multi-vendor stack for SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) to help enterprises across the globe transition to the open-source NOS. We are incredibly grateful to have Zaid Kahn, who led the transition to SONiC at LinkedIn and now leads Cloud AI and Advanced Systems at Microsoft, join our team as a technical advisor. With Zaid joining our Technical Advisory Board, our customer experience empathy will increase and our expertise in cloud and AI will skyrocket, as we empower enterprises to leverage tools for multi-vendor SONiC deployment and operations.

Aviz is at the forefront of the 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.

Aviz has built a global team of networking experts who have not only delivered products that are enabling SONiC, but also have made it more viable for using any ASIC or any switch underneath. Our goal is to usher enterprise into the data and AI driven new era of Networking 3.0 by leveraging SONiC as a platform to truly enable a multi-vendor networking cloud for the enterprise.

Aviz has been helping our lighthouse enterprise customers in several verticals with their SONiC deployment and operations for over 18 months now, both via our products and engineering services. The experience of helping customers successfully deploy SONiC on thousands of devices in their fabric is parallel to none, and it helps us to constantly evolve our products to catch the 5% issues that truly are business impacting. The fact that our products stream over 200 data points all the way from software to every single hardware component is no accident. It has helped us create the most comprehensive multi-vendor SONiC stack for the enterprise.
