Client Profile and Business Need
- The Client is a US-based manufacturer of networking equipment and solutions specializing in telecommunications.
- In its efforts to expand networking offering with market-relevant functionality to the data center space, the Client decided to build a switch product based on disaggregated architecture. Having validated the product idea with pre-selected buyers, the Client constructed a vision of the functionality to meet market needs for new data center network infrastructure.
- For their software, the Client selected SONiC, the most popular and mature open network operating system for DC, based on Debian Linux.
- The Client needed their custom NOS to remain as close to the community version as possible in order to minimize their upgrade efforts and eliminate any vendor lock-in of proprietary SONiC distributions.
- The product development included selecting the best-fitting hardware platform and SONiC version, aligning the NOS with its market requirements and use cases, migrating it to a new open-source driven platform, and handling the migration project lifecycle in order to ensure the smooth launch and quality of the new product, accompanied by necessary support.
