WEBINAR
Promises of SONiC Network Operating System

The open source and network communities are currently coming to recognize SONiC as a flywheel that accelerates innovation. Various market reports, including the Gartner Market Guide for Data Center Switching, predict significant market growth for SONiC in upcoming years.
We decided to check out how easy or challenging it is to develop a custom network functionality not yet natively supported by SONiC. We conducted a proof of concept (PoC) of a practical use case which we believe will be interesting for the community.
In this webinar, we will present our findings and conclusions, which may have an impact on managers’ decisions when selecting SONiC-enabled hardware for their project.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- SONiC’s flexibility and the potential for quick development of custom features
- The specifics of coding for SONiC
- Practical recommendations for SONiC adopters to consider
Agenda
We will cover the key issues about SONiC and why we decided to dive deep into this topic.
The use case and its key conceptsThis part will introduce you to our use case scenario for the PoC - building a custom network functionality using SONiC.
SONiC developer’s diaryOur developers will discuss the practical side of designing and coding for a solution based on SONiC.
RecapWe will summarize our findings and share our conclusions. We will also answer the initial question: how easy or challenging is building custom network solutions using SONiC?
Q&AWe will address any doubts you may have.
