Network
There are many different ways to build a network. We can help you decide what works best for you.
From traditional enterprise networking to high-performance Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics, every environment has different requirements. Bandwidth, latency, compatibility and scalability all influence the right architecture. We work with you to understand these requirements, recommend suitable technologies and ensure your networking infrastructure works effectively alongside your compute and storage systems.
Networking is never one-size-fits-all. Some environments may benefit from a well-known enterprise vendor with a full ecosystem behind it. Others are large enough that it makes more sense to pursue a disaggregated, software-defined approach.
The last thing you want is for your compute and storage resources to be held back by inefficiencies in the network. That’s why, no matter what your environment looks like, we help you decide what type of network is right for you, and then help you build it.
Enterprise Networking
If you want to buy your hardware and operating system together from a single, established vendor, we’re accredited with all the major brands: Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Edgecore and Nvidia—where we’re an NVIDIA Elite Partner for Networking.
This range of products will cover most use cases, from low-latency trading floors to highly automated enterprise environments and the bandwidth needed inside an AI cluster.
We also complement these platforms with our own Edgeware range—high-quality, vendor-compatible transceivers and cabling that match the performance and reliability of OEM options.
Open, Disaggregated Networking
If you’re looking for flexibility, the other option is to buy the hardware and the operating system separately.
You might choose a switch from one of a growing number of hardware vendors and run an open-source network operating system like SONiC on top — either the community version or a hardened, supported distribution.
SONiC has matured significantly in recent years, and the broader ecosystem around open networking has grown with it, opening up new options for organisations looking for greater flexibility and control.
This approach can offer commercial and operational advantages across deployments of different sizes, depending on the requirements and available technical expertise. Whether you’re deploying a handful of switches or building a large-scale network, we can help you assess whether open networking is the right fit for your environment.
Network Automation
As your cluster grows, the network grows with it. What starts as a handful of switches can quickly become hundreds of cables and dozens of ports, supporting different users, tenants, and access policies.
The bigger your network, the harder it is to configure by hand. That’s where network automation comes in. It’s a way to manage the network at scale by abstracting the fabric, so you can define tenants and apply policies in software, without touching a single port.
Network automation tools make this approach possible across different hardware platforms, simplifying configuration, reducing manual intervention and helping maintain consistency as the network scales.
Try before you buy
If you want to see how a particular topology, switch configuration, or automation setup behaves under real workloads, you can test it in our AI Lab.
Through our Test Drive programme, you get remote access to current-generation networking hardware, so you can validate the design before committing to a full deployment.
