Client-Tailored Community SONiC with the Specific Functionality You Need

SONiC is a powerful yet complex NOS that demands an experienced in-house team for customization, maintenance, and updates. However, choosing a use case-tailored SONiC over a proprietary NOS enables cost efficiency while ensuring vendor neutrality.

PLVision is your trusted strategic partner for the heavy lifting, delivering a production-ready SONiC tailored to close specific feature gaps. Our solution is fully vendor-neutral, with no subscription fees or third-party licensing costs. Additionally, we provide ongoing support and training to help your team overcome the learning curve and confidently manage your custom SONiC deployment.

SONiC NOS Benefits & Hardware Compatibility

SONiC is essential at every layer of the 3-tier architecture, offering a flexible, modular, and open-source networking solution. It supports high-speed switching (100G/400G/800G) and advanced protocols such as BGP, VXLAN, and EVPN, ensuring multi-vendor interoperability. This enables seamless hardware integration from various vendors while maintaining a unified network operating system.

Key Benefits of Owning a Custom SONiC Distribution

Full Control & Customization

Network operators can tailor SONiC for specific workloads, security policies, and automation needs, while OEMs and ODMs can optimize SONiC for their hardware, ensuring seamless performance across different chipsets and architectures.

Vendor Neutrality & Ecosystem Flexibility

Owning a SONiC distribution eliminates vendor lock-in, allowing seamless integration with multi-vendor hardware and enabling both network owners and hardware vendors to build open, scalable infrastructure without relying on proprietary solutions.

Cost Optimization (TCO & BOM Savings)

Network infrastructure owners reduce TCO by leveraging open-source innovation, cutting licensing fees, and automating operations, while OEMs/ODMs optimize BOM costs by aligning software with hardware and eliminating unnecessary components.

Long-Term Support & Stability

Maintaining your own SONiC distribution ensures continuous updates, security patches, and feature enhancements, enabling you to provide long-term support without relying on third-party roadmaps while aligning with your business goals.

Product Development Process for Your Use Case

PLVision follows a standard Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) framework, which encompasses stages from use case definition and analysis to prototyping, followed by product delivery, and resulting in postdevelopment support and maintenance. By offloading development to PLVision, you get your SONiC distribution faster, with fewer challenges and expenses along the way.

With your SONiC version delivered and enabled for your use case, we remain committed to helping you with maintenance and support. We offer enterprise-level support and maintenance for customized SONiC solutions.
