Pure SONiC through NVIDIA removes distribution limitations and lets enterprises take full advantage of the benefits of open networking—as well as the NVIDIA expertise, experience, training, documentation, professional services, and support that best guarantee success.
Unlike a distribution, SONiC doesn’t require reliance upon a single vendor for roadmap additions, bug fixes, or security patches.
NVIDIA provides support for Free Range Routing (FRR), SONiC, Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI), systems, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC)—all in one place.
NVIDIA is the leading contributor to Free Range Routing (FRR), the primary routing stack in SONIC.
It’s possible to mix and match your leaf spine architecture with SONiC, NVIDIA® Cumulus Linux™, NVIDIA Onyx™, or others. The choice is yours.
By pairing a switch ASIC with SONiC, you can experience unmatched performance, in-service software upgrades (ISSU), and telemetry with NVIDIA What Just Happened® (WJH).
With SONiC, you can achieve unified management with existing management tools across the data center.
By combining SONiC with NVIDIA Spectrum™, you get support for speeds of 1/10/25/40/50/100 and up to 400 GB GbE; full wire speed (FWS) at all packet sizes; telemetry, including WJH; control for all layers, including ASIC, firewall (FW), software development kit (SDK), SAI, and SONiC; ISSU; and full support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE).
Designed for hyperscalers, service providers, and enterprises, SONiC is ideal for modern, advanced network architectures that support multi-cloud and hybrid environments. NVIDIA’s deep networking, open-source, and Linux expertise enables NVIDIA to stand out as the leading provider for SONiC deployments.
