Edgecore SONiC Solution

(Software for Open Networking in the Cloud)

SONiC is a modern network operating system that allows users to containerize applications and connect them quickly across the
network. It gives users a common language to deploy applications on open hardware, and operate each application independently
without bringing the whole system down. Thus resulting in a much higher system availability where users can easily manage a
variety of services.

Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Edgecore is a hardened, open distribution of SONiC that runs on Edgecore open networking
switches. Microsoft and many other key players, including Edgecore, lead the SONiC community, delivering a robust and proven
software infrastructure that enables customers to build highly portable and scalable data center networks.

Edgecore brings an open, production ready, commercially deployable distribution of SONiC on Edgecore platforms. This is a
hardened and supported distribution – which is derived directly from the community SONiC base. The target use case of Edgecore
SONiC is primarily the data center, although we are now expanding to the enterprise retail space.
