Dell Networking with SONIC
Advanced IBN orchestration platform for SONiC networks
Verity simplifies the design, build and operation of a Dell SONiC-powered network with automation and observability. Easily integrate hardware, upgrade SONiC software packages, and deploy perfect device configurations in a modern UI or with a unified set of fabric APIs.
What is SONiC?
Dell’s Enterprise SONiC software runs on a wide portfolio of PowerSwitch platforms, including models designed for spine-leaf data center architectures, edge deployments, and high-performance computing environments. Customers benefit from the scale, port density, and hardware diversity of Dell switches while maintaining control over the software stack through open APIs and a standardized CLI experience.
Unlike community builds of SONiC, Dell SONiC includes a fully integrated, tested, and supported software package. Dell provides long-term support releases that include security patches, hardware-specific enhancements, and regression-tested features. Customers also have access to Dell’s world-class global support organization, which brings extensive networking expertise, proactive service capabilities, and enterprise-grade SLAs.
