SONiC – The Future of Networking OS

SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) is the switch NOS powers Azure Global Clouds A Debian Linux-based NOS supported by ~120 switch platforms and all major ASICs, adopted by top cloud providers, and >10 enterprise companies. Due to this rapidly expanding customer interest and commercial ecosystem, there is a strong possibility that, during the next three to six years, SONiC will become analogous to Linux as a server OS, allowing enterprises to standardize on an NOS that is supported across hardware vendors. This creates opportunity for innovation in the same manner that Linux-based tooling and Linux expertise propelled benefits for customers — Gartner Report 2021. Industry research predict $5B~$8B network switch market on SONiC.
