Don't Pay the Network Refresh Tax
AI is pushing upgrades - but you don't have to pay the tax.
Cut budget spikes. Standardize on SONiC. Own your roadmap.
What's Hurting You Most (today)
Budget Spike
Forced refresh cycles create 3–5 year upgrade taxes, with creeping per-port costs plus hidden power/space/support spend.
BoxLock
Closed NOS stacks restrict hardware choice and block best-of-breed tool integration.
NetOpsDebt
Manual CLI playbooks, siloed skills, brittle change windows - and no LLM-native workflows to automate the grind.
Why Top CIOs Are Moving Now
Redefine before you're redefined. Take control.
SONiC Your Network
Standardize or fall behind
One NOS, One automation framework, One skillset. Cut MTTR, shrink tool sprawl, and reduce maintenance windows, take control before the next refresh takes it for you.
Redefine the Metrics
Per-GbE economic
Judge upgrades by $/GbE, not box refreshes. In the AI era's faster cycles, lock in no upgrade spikes and no refresh surprises by optimizing for per-GbE efficiency.
Bring AI to NetOps
Your data, Your AI, Your Premise
Vendor-neutral, LLM-driven automation layered on your existing tools (any vendor). Expose overlap, boost efficiency, and make AI practical now.
Your Way Out
| Typical Path | AI-Ready Path | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Proprietary | Cisco, NVIDIA, Celestica, Edgecore, Arista etc. |
| NOS | Proprietary & Closed | SONiC, Cumulus |
| NetOps & AI | Vendor only | Multi-vendor |
| Support | Vendor only | 24×7, multi-vendor |
