Why This Partnership Matters
Cisco and Aviz are reimagining what’s possible in networking.

This partnership bridges Cisco’s industry-leading platforms with Aviz’s open, AI-ready software stack to help enterprises:

  • Unlock SONiC on Cisco 8000 — Certified builds, orchestration, and visibility tools tested in SONiC PlugFest.
  • Empower Nexus and Catalyst with Network Copilot™ Aviz Network Copilot™ integrates with already deployed Nexus and catalyst switches either directly taking data telemetry from switches or connecting via Catalyst Center or Nexus Dashboard
  • Gain Network Observability with Cisco UCS Servers — Software-first deep packet inspection, application and subscriber metadata extraction, and real-time traffic visibility — proven in the Deep Network Observability Interop.
  • Deploy Network Copilot™ on Cisco UCS servers — A private, GenAI-powered assistant for faster answers, automated audits, and on-premises AI security.
