Description

Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Broadcom is a commercially supported, enhanced version of the open-source Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC). It delivers superior scalability, manageability, and support for enterprise, cloud, and large-scale data center environments.

This Linux-based network operating system supports a wide range of switches, ensuring flexibility and interoperability. It features standard Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols and offers advanced functions like BGP and RDMA, used in large data centers.

SONiC’s containerized architecture allows for easy updates and feature additions, minimizing downtime. It is ideal for high-demand applications like virtualization, cloud, IoT, and AI.
Available packages include Enterprise Base, Enterprise Advanced, Campus, and AI, each tailored to specific network needs. These packages support various deployment scenarios, including data center fabrics, data center interconnect (DCI), and campus networks.

Broadcom provides comprehensive support services and validates the distribution with various optics and cables for platform interoperability.

Supported platforms include management switches, leaf, spine, and super-spine configurations from leading vendors.

Starting with version 4.4.1, Enterprise SONiC introduces a dedicated AI Package to simplify and accelerate AI/ML deployments. Designed for GPU clusters, this package offers optimized performance through features such as RoCEv2 over VXLAN, QPN-based ECMP hashing, and Layer 3 VXLAN support on Tomahawk5 (TH5) platforms.

At the same time, it streamlines operations by removing unnecessary components like xSTP, NAT, and DHCP snooping.Improve Network Availability with Open2Support, powered by SmartCare or PremiumCare Support.
