E-Commerce Networking: Secure, Scalable, AI-Ready
Future-proof your e-commerce network with AI-ready SONiC, observability, and secure multi-vendor solutions. Scale faster, cut costs, and boost performance.
Rethinking E-Commerce Networks for the AI Era
In e-commerce, technology is the customer experience. From AI-driven recommendations and dynamic pricing to same-day delivery updates and AR product previews, every click, swipe, and scroll is powered by your network.
Five years ago, customers accepted low-res images and static product descriptions. Today, they expect instant, personalized, high-quality content, much of it generated in real time by AI. That shift has multiplied data traffic 10× and introduced entirely new workloads for AI models, personalization engines, and fraud detection systems.
Your network isn’t just a utility, it’s your revenue pipeline. And with bandwidth demands surging, compliance rules tightening, and innovation cycles accelerating, e-commerce networks must be future-proof, AI-ready, and vendor-flexible from the data center to every point-of-presence (PoP).
Does This Sound Familiar to You?
- How do I handle unpredictable traffic spikes without overprovisioning?
- How can I run AI workloads and GPU fabrics without replacing all my hardware?
- How do I meet compliance rules across global PoPs without overspending?
- How can my small IT team manage global sites with less complexity?

Avoiding Vendor Lock-In: How an E-Commerce Leader Future-Proofed Its Network for Growth
Objective
Upgrade network bandwidth to meet growing traffic demands, without giving up hardware choices or compromising operational predictability for a major e-commerce platform.
Strategic Issue
Proprietary switches increase dependence and prevent scaling that’s needed for AI-powered personalization engines and the COVID-driven traffic surge.
Problem
The customer needed a standardized, open networking platform to support 10× data traffic growth, avoid vendor lock-in, and maintain operational control, while allowing hardware flexibility and seamless integration with existing NetOps tooling.
Solution
The customer selected the Aviz ONES SONiC Suite with disaggregated support, upgrading SONiC for a standardized, vendor-agnostic fabric, enabling seamless scaling, 40–50% TCO savings, and future-proofing for AI workloads, all while standardizing across NetOps tooling.
Hardware Partners
Why They Chose Aviz
- Strong Ecosystem & Community Partnership: Aviz collaborated with well-known SI and switch vendors, supporting a leading e-commerce platform’s active role in the SONiC community.
- Flexible Engagement & Development Model: Aviz offered Resident Development Engineers (RDEs) and seamless integration with the customer’s existing NetOps tooling.
- Predictable SONiC Quality & Shift-Left Assurance: Aviz provided a CI/CD system with SONiC test cases and embedded quality gates early in the build cycle for faster, higher-quality solutions.
- Proven Support & Lab at Scale: The customer gained trust in Aviz’s SONiC development expertise and its ability to recreate and debug issues at scale in Aviz’s Fremont lab, equipped with multi-vendor hardware and back traffic generators.
Key Results
Upgraded network bandwidth while ensuring standardization, faster upgrades, and cost efficiency. Enabled hardware flexibility and operational control without disrupting existing NetOps workflows.
“As an early adopter, we needed help with NOS verification, orchestration, and above all 24x7 support to manage our network fabric. Aviz brings the expertise and insights needed to enable broader SONiC journey. No one else comes close in facilitating SONiC deployments.”
