What key learnings from hyperscalers can be applied to enterprise data centers? Kamran Naqvi, Principal Network Architect from Broadcom, explains how they are democratizing networking for everyone:
- Broadcom has taken the benefits and advantages previously only available to hyperscalers and made them accessible to all. They’ve done this by enabling features in SONiC, an open-source network operating system initially developed by Microsoft for their Azure Cloud.
- They’ve transformed SONiC into an enterprise-class system by enabling features like CXL, EVPN, telemetry, and time synchronization. This has led to many enterprise customers adopting SONiC.
- Broadcom has also enabled silicon telemetry features in their silicon, which were previously only available to mega scalers. These features allow customers to quickly get to the root cause analysis and understand if an application performance issue is caused by the network or not.
Join Kamran as he discusses how Broadcom is taking SONiC to next gen switching silicon.
