Developed with enterprise SONiC support, SandWork enables end-to-end automation for overlay and underlay networks, offering seamless integration with modern data center environments. Whether deploying SONiC-based fabrics or managing multi-vendor infrastructure, SandWork provides a future-proof automation framework that accelerates digital transformation. Target users: network administrators, engineers & operators responsible for managing large-scale data center networks or distributed IT infrastructure. ### Key Capabilities - Day 2+ Fabric Configuration: advanced configurations including VXLAN network segments, switchport mappings, device-specific settings, and MC-LAG pair configurations. - Intent-Based Orchestration & Assurance: SandWork continuously compares network intent with the actual network state across both underlay and overlay layers, ensuring the infrastructure behaves exactly as designed. - Enterprise SONiC Compliance: built to support large-scale SONiC deployments in enterprise environments; compatible with both open-source SONiC and Enterprise SONiC. - Programmable Framework: modular architecture facilitating integration and management of multi-vendor network environments, with comprehensive lifecycle management for overlay and underlay network devices. - Cost Efficiency: reduces reliance on proprietary systems and scales with network growth. ### Device Lifecycle Management SandWork manages network devices through a structured process: 1. Design — planning the network architecture. 2. Onboarding — verifying device compatibility and alignment with network policies through global intent checks. 3. Staging — OS installation and upgrades, device greenfield checks to validate new devices against operational standards. 4. Managing — continuous monitoring and maintenance with automated tasks and real-time adjustments for optimal device performance and reliability. ### Compatible SONiC Switch Vendors SandWork is validated with SONiC switches from: - Celestica (DS1000, ES1010, DS2000, DS3000, DS4000, DS4100, DS4101, DS5000) — from OOB management and campus access to 800G AI training fabrics.
