Aviz Networks announced the launch of ONES, a multi-platform application for network orchestration, visibility, assurance, with vendor neutral SONiC Support.
The Aviz Open Networking Enterprise Suite (ONES) is an enterprise network management and support solution, built to address the unique challenges faced by network infrastructure teams as they transition to open source Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC), while ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure running traditional NOS.
ONES is an outcome of 4+ years of SONiC community leadership from the Aviz team, along with 18 months of supporting SONiC in production environments for customers. It is highly modular for integration with different layers of the Network Operations (NetOps) stack, solving multiple use cases ranging from orchestration to visibility and support.
Aviz ONES supports Community SONiC and its vendor-specific distributions and provides an unparalleled level of NetOps capabilities for switches running SONiC. ONES also consumes telemetry from switches running a vendor NOS such as NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, as well as telemetry from Arista EOS or Cisco NX-OS, and if they utilize standard OpenConfig (gNMI) telemetry models. The sum of these capabilities makes ONES the most comprehensive and inclusive solution that can deliver end-to-end visibility for a multi-vendor, multi-NOS network.
The ONES release is a significant milestone for Aviz in achieving its vision of Open-, Cloud-, and AI-first networks. It is the foundational pillar that opens up the entire networking stack (across vendors), and positions Aviz as the only neutral vendor in the ecosystem that can provide NetOps and SONiC support throughout any network comprising multi-vendor, multi-NOS infrastructure.
“With the rapid adoption of open-source SONiC, network infrastructure teams are looking for solutions that not only provide support capabilities for different flavors of SONiC, but also provide NetOps across existing network infrastructure." said Vishal Shukla, CEO of Aviz Networks. “ONES enables orchestration, deep telemetry and assurance for multi-vendor deployments. The option for 24x7 SRE support enables users to introduce SONiC in their networks with confidence.”
”At Edgecore we see that the next generation of networking is in white-box switching on community open-source software, and our focus is on providing hardened high quality networking solutions on merchant silicon. Open-source SONiC has significantly increased the adoption for disaggregated solutions,” said Heimdall Siao, the President of Edgecore Networks. “With Edgecore’s partnership with Aviz, and Aviz’s ONES software running on a large number of Edgecore SONiC switches, we are able to serve enterprise customers in deploying SONiC at large scale.”
"Our research group provides market analysis for software and hardware trends in multi-cloud networking including OEM/white-box switching. Over the years, we have seen several attempts at network disaggregation, but we truly believe that SONIC will be the enabler of such disaggregation outside the hyperscalers which were able to develop their own Network Operating Systems in house ” said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Director, Data Center and Campus Ethernet Switch Market Research at Dell’Oro Group. “ However, in order for SONIC to deliver on that promise, there is a clear need for a neutral entity solving the supportability issue for various SONiC distributions. Aviz multi-vendor SONiC support via their ONES platform helps address this gap in the SONIC ecosystem.”

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown.

In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines.

And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans.
