SandWork is Compliant with Micas Devices

09/02/2026

We are happy to announce that SandWork and these Micas network devices have successfully passed an interoperability test.

In other words, SandWork shows strong interoperability with Micas SONiC.

In our world of networking, we often talk about interoperability like it’s a given – a handshake between software and hardware.

But as everyone knows, getting an orchestration platform to play nice with a high-performance switch is less like a simple handshake and more like a high-stakes game.

We recently put this to the test with our SandWork Orchestration Platform (v6.0.0) and the Micas Network Device (Enterprise SONIC v4.5.1) .

High-maturity integration

When you’re managing a complex network, you don’t just want compatibility – you want a platform that feels like it was born to talk to your hardware.

Our testing revealed a high degree of maturity in how SandWork orchestrates Micas devices.

From fundamental tasks to the more complex architectural maneuvers, the integration proved to be rock solid.

The testing results

We went deep into the operational guts of the Micas devices. SandWork successfully validated a wide array of mission-critical features with a status of OK:

  • BGP & routing policies: Seamlessly managing how data finds its way across your fabric.

  • Interface management: Crisp, clean control over every port and connection.

  • DHCP relay: Ensuring your devices get the addresses they need without a hitch.

  • Port management & switchport mapping: Effortless visibility and configuration of the physical layer.

    The Verdict

    Our SandWork platform demonstrates strong interoperability with Micas SONIC devices.

    In an industry often blocked by proprietary lock-ins and closed ecosystems, this successful integration is a win for the future of open networking.

    Micas, welcome to the SandWork family. Together, we’re proving that when the industry opens up, the possibilities are endless.
