The SONiC market is very different for hardware and software, and vendors are looking to create a broader support ecosystem.  650 Group’s research report looks at the various end-markets and consumption models for SONiC software and hardware, as well as the differences between SONiC capable and networks actually running SONiC.

“Open Networking has always been a topic of interest in data center networking. The trend started almost 20 years ago with OpenFlow and the interest in the broader ecosystem of emulating the rapid innovation in the cloud,” said Alan Weckel, Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “Most end-users expressed interest in being agile like a Hyperscaler, and SONiC is increasing in popularity to fill this role. SONiC finds its roots in the very early days of Open Networking.”
