## What is SONiC?

SONiC is an open source network operating system based on Linux that runs on switches from multiple vendors and ASICs. SONiC Application Development offers a full-suite of network functionality like BGP and FRR, that has been production-hardened in the data centers of some of the largest cloud-service providers. It offers teams the flexibility to create the network solutions they need while leveraging the collective strength of a large ecosystem and community.

### Decouples Hardware and Software

### Accelerates Software Evolution

### Rapidly Growing Ecosystem

## Goal:
To develop an NPB application that can work over different white box platforms.

## Solution:
Developed an NPB application using SONiC open source over 3 different white box platforms (BRCM, Mellanox, Marvell)

- Implementation from Scratch using customer spec
- Integration with management system using REST API
- CI/QA testing
- Demo to customers
- Documentation (Product Design , How to?, ..)

“Axellant’s experience and expertise in the networking space with multiple leading vendors switching platforms, Asics , SDK’s , SAI and SONiC allowed us to implement the SMVdata NPB application which is the first Hardware agnostic application running over SONiC.”
