 SONiC Welcomes Marvell as Premier Member to Further Open-Source Network Operating System\s- Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC), a Linux Foundation project that is an open-source network operating system (NOS) based on Linux that runs on switches and ASICs from multiple vendors, today announced Marvell has joined the project as a Premier member, including the addition of John DaCosta to the SONiC Governing Board.

Created by Microsoft for its Azure data centres, SONiC is an open-source NOS based on Linux that runs on over 100 different switches from multiple vendors and ASICs. It provides a comprehensive set of network features, including BGP and RDMA, which have been battle-tested in production environments at some of the world’s largest cloud service providers’ data centres. It allows groups to tailor network solutions to specific requirements while drawing on the resources of a sizable community. Marvell is the first Premier member to join the project community since the project moved to the Linux Foundation.

The Linux Foundation’s General Manager of Networking, Edge, and IoT, Arpit Joshipura, is pleased to have Marvell on board. “We are excited to welcome Marvell to the Linux Foundation and the SONiC community as its team has shown a strong commitment to support the open networking stack,” he said. “As a growing leader in enabling open-source data centre NOS deployments, SONiC already has a robust community of developers and a strong support model.”
