SONiC by Netberg

Hardened SONiC by Netberg

SONiC Distribution by Netberg is a hardened, open-source distribution of SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) that runs on Netberg Aurora switches. It meets the needs of cloud, enterprise, and campus network environments.

SONiC is an innovative, scalable, Linux-based, open-source network OS with a community-led by Microsoft and many key networking players, including Netberg. Designed by hyperscalers, SONiC brings modern, advanced, scalable network architectures to service providers and enterprises with support for multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

Netberg’s SONIC is tested and validated across designated Netberg platforms to ensure production-ready deployment. Validation of cables and optics from industry sources removes the platform interoperability concerns. We focus on stable releases from the SONiC community so our customers have confidence that the branch is robust and supportable while keeping the strength of collective wisdom and code transparency.

Why SONiC
  • Container-based design:

    Microservice, containerized OS structure allows upgrading individual containers (apps) without data plane downtime
  • Highly scalable:

    SONiC’s modular, extensible, container-based design accelerates innovation. Microsoft runs it for hyper-scale networking
  • Transparency:

    Open source Debian Linux as the base distro, so you know what you’re getting
Why Choose SONiC Distribution by Netberg
  • Focus on two supported silicon platforms - Marvell Teralynx and Intel Tofino
  • One stop support for software plus hardware
  • 100% Open Source
