Network Automation: How Aviz Networks is Building the Future of Smart, AI-Powered Infrastructure.

 

Introduction: The Automation Imperative

Gone are the days when networking was all about manual configurations and static dashboards. Today’s fast-paced, distributed environments demand network automation systems that can adapt, learn, and optimize in real time. At Aviz Networks, we’re redefining what automation means by weaving AI, open architecture, and multi-vendor flexibility into every layer of your network.



What Does “Network Automation” Really Mean?

Network automation refers to the process of leveraging software, scripts, and AI to manage network tasks like configuration, orchestration, troubleshooting, and compliance with minimal human intervention. Instead of manual CLI entries or rigid templates, automation tools accelerate workflows, reduce errors, and free up teams to tackle strategic challenges.

Aviz’s Automation Ecosystem: Open, Smart, Scalable

Here's how Aviz Networks embeds automation across its platform:

1. Network Copilot™  Your AI-Powered Network Assistant

Powered by generative AI, Network Copilo is more than an assistant it’s a partner for operations. It:

  • Generates real-time dashboards and flow analytics on demand

  • Automates compliance checks (SSH, ACLs, TACACS+, CoPP) with one prompt

  • Creates IaC templates instantly from simple commands

  • Streamlines troubleshooting with anomaly detection and optimization insights

  • Automates audit reports and capacity planning, helping save 32 hours per month and delivering up to a 40% ROI

2. ONES  The Open Networking Enterprise Suite

This is Aviz’s orchestration engine for multi-vendor SONiC deployments:

  • Offers multi-vendor orchestration and observability with over 250 metrics

  • Enables real-time alerting, AI fabric management, and RoCE visibility

  • Integrates with data pipelines and tools Kafka for cloud, natural-language interface via Network Copilot

3. CI/CD-Ready Testing with Fabric Test Automation Suite (FTAS)

Automation isn’t just deployment it’s quality assurance:

  • FTAS delivers automated, standardized SONiC testing across L2/L3 functionality

  • Fits into CI/CD pipelines for seamless Rolling updates and regression testing

  • Provides resilience validation, Day-2 operations checks, and scalable testing

Why Automation Matters Now

Boost Efficiency and Agility

AI-driven automation can reduce manual toil like repetitive scripting while improving consistency and standardization. In one real-world case, Network Copilot replaced fragmented Ansible playbooks with AI-generated, scaled automation workflows

Ensure Quality at Speed

Automated test suites like FTAS ensure fast, reliable validation of your network stack, helping prevent post-deployment failures and simplifying upgrades.

Stay Compliant and Secure

Automate audit reporting and configuration standard compliance instantly even across multi-vendor setups.

Scale with Minimal Friction

ONES and Network Copilot enable scalable automation across edge, core, and GPU fabrics whether you're orchestrating SONiC clusters or managing AI data centers.

Real-World Impact: Automation You Can See

  • Hands-on Validation with WWT: Aviz’s automation tools can be demoed in the WWT AI Proving Ground Lab, offering enterprises a sandbox for real-world testing

  • Roadmap to AI Automation: Aviz is identifying key use cases for network automation 10 to 20 repeatable workflows where AI can make a difference then validating them across actual customer environments

Why Aviz’s Automation Approach Stands Out

  • Vendor-Agnostic & Open-Source Aligned: Built around SONiC, Aviz avoids vendor lock-in and supports flexible infrastructure.

  • AI-Powered, Not AI-Overkill: Aviz uses GenAI smartly to generate dashboards, IaC, audits not to replace human expertise.

  • End-to-End Automation Pipeline: From deployment to quality validation to continuous compliance, automation spans the full lifecycle.

  • Human-Centric Experience: Natural-language interaction via Network Copilot, backed by enterprise-grade orchestration and support.



Summary: The Automation Advantage

Network automation isn’t just a convenience it’s a transformative strategy. With Aviz Networks, automation means smart, AI-enhanced infrastructure that’s scalable, adaptable, and future-ready.

Integration with ONES provides orchestration and observability. Network Copilot™ adds AI-based troubleshooting, analytics, and compliance. FTAS ensures quality across updates and deployments. Together, they empower teams to operate at higher speed, accuracy, and confidence.
