New Partnership with STORDIS: Distributing Edgecore & SONiC Lite Bundle for DC, Edge, and Campus Networks

STORDIS, a leading provider of open networking infrastructure solutions, has partnered with PLVision, an open networking software product development company, to introduce the Edgecore Gigabit Ethernet Switch ECS4650-54PS pre-installed with SONiC Lite network operating system (NOS), an enterprise distribution of SONiC by PLVision for cost-effective management and access platforms in data center, edge, and campus deployments.

This partnership offers a high-performing hardware-software solution for the access layer of enterprise networks. It helps businesses build or modernize their network infrastructure while maximizing performance and optimizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). With STORDIS’s extensive distribution reach and PLVision’s lightweight software, enterprises can now adopt open networking with reduced operational complexity and improved efficiency.

While Community SONiC excels in data center environments, its resource-intensive architecture can create challenges for edge and campus deployments. SONiC Lite overcomes these limitations by optimizing software for less demanding hardware (with lower CPUs and less RAM usage), resource efficiency, and streamlined operations.

The Edgecore ECS4650-54PS is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet access/aggregation switch designed to meet the demands of modern networking. It features 54 ports, including 48 x 1GbE PoE ports and 6 x SFP28 25G uplink ports, making it ideal for enterprise core networks, SMBs, campus environments, and cloud edge access. This switch is well-suited for supporting IoT and other connected devices.

It offers robust high availability, advanced Quality of Service (QoS) at the network edge, and intuitive management. The ECS4650-54PS is equipped with comprehensive IPv6 support, including advanced IPv6 management, security, and multicast control, ensuring seamless adaptation to the growing adoption of IPv6.

With Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, the switch provides up to 90 Watts per port, enabling effortless integration of edge devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, and surveillance cameras, all powered through Cat 5 UTP cables.

The Edgecore and SONiC Lite bundle delivers key features and benefits, including:

• Best price-performance Gigabit Ethernet access/aggregation switch with 25G uplinks.
• Robust L3 capabilities with widely used unicast and multicast routing protocols, redundant routing protocols, and DHCP relay/server functionality.
• Advanced security and IPv6 support for modern network demands.
• Simplified management via CLI.

To begin leveraging this high-performance solution, visit the STORDIS webpage, where the Edgecore ECS4650-54PS switches with PLVision’s SONiC Lite are available. The straightforward purchasing process allows you to maximize your network’s potential quickly.

The STORDIS-PLVision partnership offers the Edgecore switch and SONiC Lite bundle – an optimized open networking solution tailored for data centers, edge, and campus environments. This collaboration marks another step toward making open networking more accessible, flexible, and effective for enterprises globally.
