PLVision proudly announces partnership with UfiSpace and the expansion of its SONiC Lite Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) with the addition of the S7801-54XS switch. This milestone strengthens the reach of the SONiC Lite network operating system (NOS), PLVision’s SONiC-based distribution for access and management platforms in DC, campus, and edge deployments.

The UfiSpace S7801-54XS is a high-performance white box switch built to meet the demands of growing data center markets. Equipped with 6 x 100G QSFP28 ports and 48 x 10G SFP+ ports, it harnesses the power of Broadcom Trident3-X5 silicon to deliver advanced features and robust management capabilities. With SONiC Lite NOS, this bundle enables data centers to achieve superior Ethernet connectivity, enhancing operational efficiency, scalability, and optimizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Engineered for maximum reliability, the S7801-54XS switch includes:

  • A powerful Intel Denverton 4-core processor.
  • Redundant, hot-swappable components for high availability and reduced maintenance.
  • A space-efficient 1RU form factor, ideal for constrained environments.

SONiC Lite, in turn, delivers essential networking capabilities for DC, edge, and campus deployments, supporting L2 switching, L3 routing, and security features while staying compatible with the latest stable releases of Community SONiC.

When deployed on management switches, SONiC Lite extends SONiC use cases, delivering substantial business benefits. In enterprise data centers, the UfiSpace switch powered by SONiC Lite operates as a leaf or Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch, offering flexible, high-speed connectivity with 100G uplinks and 10G downlinks for computing and storage resources.

For enterprise networks, this solution aggregates services efficiently with 10G ports, while advanced telemetry capabilities provide deep operational visibility, proactive monitoring, and enhanced network efficiency – enabling businesses to optimize performance and troubleshoot effectively.

By leveraging the UfiSpace S7801-54XS switches with SONiC Lite, enterprises gain access to the most recent feature updates and bug fixes, ensuring a reliable and up-to-date DC, edge, and campus networks. This partnership between PLVision and UfiSpace highlights our ongoing commitment to advancing SONiC adoption across diverse network environments.
