Questions from enterprise infrastructure teams

• Where should we start if we have ordered GPUs but have not chosen the network?−
  Start with the GPU platform, planned deployment size and the reference architecture. Aviz will work with your compute and network teams to map the different network roles, select a supported combination and define commissioning tests. This gives procurement and implementation a common technical basis.
• Can Aviz work with a cluster we already operate?+
  Yes. Begin with a defined requirement such as network visibility, a tenant workflow or the next expansion. We review the installed versions and interfaces, identify the supported integration and agree a scoped proof of value. Changes follow your existing operating process.
• Does using Aviz require SONiC everywhere?+
  No. The design determines the supported network software for each role. ONES can work with supported vendor systems and controllers, while SONiC modernization can be a separate project. We qualify the exact hardware, NOS and feature combination rather than assume every fabric should use the same software.
• How do compute and network teams divide responsibility?+
  Agree the boundary during design: GPU and host health, NIC configuration, fabric policy, scheduler integration, monitoring and incident ownership. Aviz helps document the interfaces, evidence and escalation path so the teams can investigate a problem together and assign the next action clearly.
• What evidence do we receive before accepting the cluster network?+
  A scoped validation engagement can include the tested component versions, integration outcomes, acceptance results, known issues and remediation guidance. The test plan is agreed against your selected stack and operational workflows. Physical validation complements logical simulation.
• Can we use existing monitoring and service-management tools?+
  Aviz supports APIs, telemetry export and integrations with common operations tools. We review the actual interfaces, data fields and workflows you need, then validate them on the selected releases. Your existing tools can remain part of the operating model.
• Can we account for usage across departments?+
  Network tenant identity and inference records can contribute to showback when the required identifiers and supported traffic are available. GPU allocation and cost accounting also need scheduler and financial inputs. We define the data sources and attribution rules before treating the output as an accounting record.
• How does Aviz help our engineers become self-sufficient?+
  Forward-deployed engineers work with your team on the design, validation and operating workflows. The engagement can include runbooks, training and knowledge transfer, with ongoing support defined for the deployment. Aviz also offers SONiC training and certification.
• Is AI NOC required for the deployment?+
  No. You can begin with ONES and the network requirements of your private GPU environment. AI NOC is an early-access option for cross-layer investigation and selected operating workflows. Evaluate it against a specific use case, the available telemetry and your approval process.
• Can the same engagement include SONiC and network observability?+
  Yes. These can be scoped alongside or after the AI factory work. Identify the switching estate, observability requirements and operational outcomes first. Aviz can help validate a supported SONiC design, a packet and metadata collection path, or an AI-assisted network operations workflow.
