About Aviz
Aviz Networks is a leading provider of solutions for Open, Cloud, and AI first networks. Aviz delivers switch platform agnostic, easy-to-use applications and APIs for network observability, orchestration, and assurance.

Aviz Networks does not make its own SONiC distribution; rather, we work with partners like Cisco, Broadcom, Edgecore, Nvidia, Marvell, Supermicro and others to provide tools and services that normalize SONiC for enterprise use cases.
This includes products for testing, deployment, visibility, orchestration and enterprise support across diverse SONiC environments. The goal is to eliminate lock-in and give customers choice and control, while still benefiting from the cost savings and flexibility of open networking.
“Customers, even Cisco for that matter, have partnered with us because they are seeing this shift in the market and they see [SONiC] as the next Linux of the industry,” Shukla said.
