NVIDIA Mellanox Switch Software

NVIDIA® offers a wide range of Network Operating Systems (NOS), from the homegrown Ethernet Operating System, NVIDIA Mellanox Onyx, to native Linux operating systems, NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, and a variety of vendor specific options.

Similarly, switch OEMs, NOS vendors and other users may also develop their own switch software on top of the NVIDIA Software Development Kit (SDK) or the standard Switch Abstraction Layer (SAI) to allow best of breed pairing of hardware and software.

What Just Happened (WJH)

What Just Happened (WJH) is an advanced streaming telemetry technology that provides real time visibility into problems in the network. WJH goes beyond conventional telemetry solutions by providing actionable details on abnormal network behavior. Traditional solutions try to extrapolate root causes of network issues by analyzing network counters and statistical packet sampling. WJH eliminates the guesswork from network troubleshooting.

NVIDIA Onyx

Onyx (successor to MLNX-OS Ethernet) is an extremely flexible and scalable Ethernet based switch operating system for next-generation data centers with storage, cloud, financial or media & entertainment fabrics. With built-in workflow automation, monitoring & visibility tools, enhanced high availability mechanisms, and more, Onyx simplifies network processes and workflows, increasing efficiencies and reducing operating expenses and time-to-service.

MLNX-OS

MLNX-OS® is a next-generation switch operating system for data centers with storage, enterprise, high-performance computing and cloud fabrics. Building networks with MLNX-OS enables scaling to thousands of compute and storage nodes with monitoring and provisioning capabilities, whether they are InfiniBand or Virtual Protocol Interconnect® (VPI). Tailored for data centers, MLNX-OS provides a robust data center bridging package and a complete solution for lossy and lossless networks.

Cumulus Linux

Cumulus Linux embodies native Linux networking. Supercharged versions of the kernel and other networking related packages encompass the latest industry thinking in networking while retaining compatibility with the full range of software available in Debian. SN2000 series running Cumulus Linux provide standard networking functions such as bridging, routing, VLANs, MLAGs, IPv4/IPv6, OSPF/BGP, access control,VRF and VxLAN overlays. Cumulus-Linux running on top of Mellanox SN2000 series is a perfect fit for customers with need for automated-cloud deployments, Layer-3 to the server deployments and "infrastructure as Code" data-centers.

Switch Software Development Kit (SDK)

The Switch Software Development Kit (SDK), compatible with NVIDIA's Ethernet and InfiniBand switch ICs, allows switch OEMs and Network Operating System (NOS) vendors to bring to market cost-effective solutions allowing LAN, SAN and IPC traffic to co-exist across a single fabric.

Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI)

SAI, Switch Abstraction Interface, defines the API to provide a hardware-independent layer of controlling Switch ASIC in a uniform manner. SAI is part of the Open Compute Project (OCP). SAI is an open-source project.

SONiC

SONiC, Software for Open Networking in the Cloud, first introduced by Microsoft, is an open-source Network Operating System which is built on top of SAI. SONiC is supported on SN2000 switch systems.
