Network Operating System
This product supports SONiC, a leading open networking operating system. Micas Networks provide various SONiC offerings, including customization and integration services.
Overview
SONiC is an open source network operating system based on Linux that runs on merchant silicon based ODM platforms. The open source SONiC project is at https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki.
SONiC is in production today at multiple web-scale companies for data center fabric deployments and has a healthy developer community and vendor ecosystem around it. The underlying architecture of SONiC is here: https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Architecture.
The Enterprise SONiC distribution by Micas is a commercial offering based on open source SONiC with feature enrichment and hardening targeted at Data Center leaf and spine/super-spine use cases. The Enterprise SONiC distribution by Micas supports ODM and OEM platforms based on the StrataXGS family of silicon from Broadcom.
The Enterprise SONiC distribution by Micas offers benefits such as high performance and simplicity based on industry leading merchant silicon and standards based IP CLOS architecture. It also provides agility based on a flexible management framework with programmatic APIs and an extensible, container-based architecture. Finally, an open source foundation and standardized ecosystem provide strong economic benefits for a data center fabric solution.
