ONES is a network management and support solution built to address the unique challenges of transitioning to open source SONiC. It is highly modular for integration with different layers of the Network Operations (NetOps) stack, solving multiple use cases ranging from orchestration to visibility and support.
ONES supports Community SONiC and its vendor-specific distributions and provides an unparalleled level of NetOps capabilities for switches running SONiC. ONES also consumes telemetry from switches running other vendor NOSs such as NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, Arista EOS or Cisco NX-OS making it the most comprehensive and inclusive solution that delivers end-to-end visibility for a multi-vendor, multi-NOS fabric.
"At the ‘Open Networking Day with SONiC’ community event hosted by Aviz, the need for a SONiC support stack was articulated well by Aldrin Isaac. Referring to disaggregated SONiC support providers, Aldrin said, “If you bring support apps that have deep diagnostics capabilities then your SLAs are improved. You can turn issues around faster. It’s in the combination of support AND related apps that there is an opportunity in the SONiC ecosystem. Based on our experience we feel that the missing piece is the support piece. It is the final puzzle piece for the rest of us to take on SONiC.”
