Modern challenges need strong, open solutions. If you’re managing networks in data centers, cloud infrastructure, or telecom environments, this must-watch webinar on SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) and FD.io (Fast Data Input/Output) is for you.

PANTHEON.tech, Intel Network Builders, and Maciek Konstantynowicz (CSIT Tech Lead & Cisco Distinguished Engineer) teamed up for a webinar to explain these technologies and their importance for the future of networking.

Why SONiC & FD.io are Better Together

Our webinar dives deep into two critical pillars of open networking:

1. SONiC – An open-source, community-driven network operating system, adopted by hyperscalers, enterprises, and telcos. From hyperscaler pioneers like Microsoft and Alibaba to enterprise giants like Walmart and Broadcom, SONiC has reshaped network scalability, hardware agnosticism, and operational efficiency.
2. FD.io – FD.io is the driving force behind efficient and high-performance network functions. With benchmarks showcasing terabit throughput and real-world deployments on Commercial-off-the-shelf hardware, FD.io is leading the charge in software-defined networking.

Key Highlights from the Webinar

The History of SONiC: From its inception at Microsoft in 2016 to its global adoption by hyperscalers, enterprises, and telcos, SONiC has been a game-changer. Learn how organizations like Alibaba saved up to 90% in testing time and Walmart is scaling SONiC to stores and distribution centers.

Real-World Use Cases: Explore how companies like Broadcom transitioned to SONiC for enhanced network visibility and cost efficiency, or how Orange utilized SONiC to modernize their telco infrastructure with open, disaggregated switches.

Cutting-Edge Benchmarks & Methodologies: Get insights into FD.io CSIT benchmarks, including advanced testing methodologies. These innovative approaches redefine performance testing, ensuring reliability for large-scale deployments.
