Cisco validates SONiC open networking on N9000 switches
Original: Scaling open networking through Cisco-validated SONiC on N9000
Cisco has announced a validated SONiC offering on its N9000 switch line, aiming to help customers scale open networking deployments with vendor-backed support. The move signals Cisco's continued embrace of open-source network operating systems, letting operators run SONiC on enterprise-grade hardware while relying on Cisco validation for interoperability and support assurances.
Why now: Network operators and data centre teams are tracking Cisco's formal support of open-source SONiC as it affects vendor choice and infrastructure strategy.
