Guide for MCLAG in SONiC

Solution Brief | By Humza Altaf | October 27, 2023 October 27, 2023

SONiC is a network operating system that is open source and based on Linux. It is designed to be scalable and flexible, and it is used by a wide range of organizations, including hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises.

In today’s interconnected world, network reliability is paramount. In data centers, the introduction of Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MCLAG) in SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) marks a significant milestone in achieving unparalleled high availability and network resilience.

MCLAG is a network technology that provides seamless redundancy and load balancing across multiple switches, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity in the event of hardware failures or planned maintenance. SONiC, an open-source network operating system developed by Microsoft and the Open Compute Project (OCP), has incorporated MCLAG as a key feature, making it a compelling choice for organizations aiming to build scalable and highly available networks.

SONiC can be transformative for your organization, but realizing its full potential requires a trusted partner. Our extensive experience implementing open networking solutions enables us to quickly offer guidance and assess whether SONiC is appropriate for your organization’s unique needs.

The many benefits of SONiC, once exclusive to hyperscalers, are now within reach for enterprise clients. Contact our team of seasoned networking experts to learn why right now is a transformative time in the industry as we move closer to wider SONiC adoption.
