The latest release of SONiC Lite – an enterprise distribution of SONiC by PLVision – introduces new features and enhancements tailored to improve performance in data center, edge, and campus environments.
Built to serve enterprises of all sizes, SONiC Lite is ideal for access and management switches, improving network efficiency and reliability and offering seamless scalability to adapt to business needs. This solution drives a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) by running on less resource-demanding platforms.
The November release of SONiC Lite builds upon previous versions, bringing enhancements in network reliability, management, and power efficiency. Key updates deliver unified CLI support (Cisco-like) for SONiC Lite features, enabling a unified approach for configuration and management. The migration to the SONiC 202405 version further boosts performance and scalability.
We’ve also extended OpenLAN Switching (OLS) support, enabling cloud management capabilities. This enhancement unifies management for campus and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) deployments, future-proofs networks for immersive, high-bandwidth, low-latency applications, and lays the foundation for full OLS functionality in upcoming updates.
In terms of hardware compatibility, a wide range of switch models, including popular white-box options, supports SONiC Lite, providing businesses with unmatched flexibility and choice. This means organizations can choose cost-effective hardware platforms that fit their demands while leveraging the advanced capabilities of SONiC Lite.
In this release, we have expanded Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to include Micas hardware. The Micas M2-W6510-48GT4V switches now support SONiC Lite. Stay tuned for further expansions of SONiC Lite’s HCL, which can be viewed here.
With ongoing improvements from PLVision, SONiC Lite remains a lightweight, reliable, and adaptable NOS for greater performance without the constraints of proprietary solutions. By choosing SONiC Lite, enterprises gain a robust and resilient network infrastructure, enabling seamless scalability, cost-efficient operations, and the agility needed to adapt to the changing demands of modern network environments.
