Hardened SONiC Network Operation System by Larch Networks
High Availability
Ensures uninterrupted service with features like Fast Reboot, warm upgrades, and process restarts without disrupting traffic.
Advanced Telemetry and Monitoring
Provides real-time network performance insights and integrates with popular monitoring frameworks
Cloud-Scale Networking
Scales to support the largest data center operations.
Comprehensive Protocol Support
Supports major Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking protocols, including BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VXLAN, and more.
Modular Architecture
Highly customizable architecture that allows components such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), VLAN, and Quality of Service (QoS) to be added or removed based on specific requirements.
Container-Based Applications
Each network function runs in its own container, allowing for independent updates and upgrades without affecting other components.
uCentral Cloud Management
Supports access point and LAN switch management using the uCentral protocol, enabling zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) and open-source development.
