ABOUT US
Aviz Team
Get to know the passionate individuals driving Aviz Networks forward. Our diverse team combines expertise and innovation to shape the future of technology solutions.
Traditional networking solutions can’t keep up with today’s AI demands, they simply lack the necessary flexibility. At Aviz, we champion an AI-first, vendor-agnostic approach. We’re redefining networking with three key innovations: multi-vendor Community SONiC solutions, enhanced visibility, and AI-driven management capabilities, essential for everyday networking tasks. All designed for an AI-integrated world, our solutions consistently deliver choices, control, and cost savings.
Beyond building solutions, I've also focused on simplifying how leaders think about networking in the AI era, cutting through vendor noise to provide clear frameworks, trade-offs, and strategic decision models in my recent book.

Deciding the future: Building New Networks for the AI ERA
Why AI Is Forcing a Network Rethink
AI workloads are changing traffic patterns, bandwidth assumptions, and infrastructure economics, faster than most organizations realize.
The Two Decisions Every Leader Must Make
- How should we build networks for AI workloads?
- How should we use AI to run and secure networks?
Most companies blur the two. This book separates them clearly.
Scale-Up vs. Scale-Out, In Executive Language
Understand the strategic trade-offs behind growth architecture choices, without drowning in protocol jargon.
ROI & TCO in the AI Era
AI changes both revenue opportunity and cost structure. The book helps you rethink infrastructure decisions through a business lens.
Standardization vs. Lock-In
History shows where value ultimately moves. Leaders who recognize the pattern early win.
Pragmatic Starting Points
You don't need a greenfield AI factory to begin. There are structured ways to modernize without disruption.
