Broadcom-VMware's Data Center Migration to SONiC from a three tiered architecture - Tobin Hackshaw & Kamini Santhanagopalan, Broadcom
Friday October 18, 2024 11:30am - 11:50am PDT
Cisco Building 9
Broadcom is a large corporation (~25000 employee base- 23 semiconductor and infra software divisions) has a huge R&D investment with over 13+ DCs worldwide. In early 2019- Broadcom decided to upgrade its DC infrastructure from a legacy 3-tier architecture with high vendor lock-in costs to a more robust and scalable CLOS architecture using an Open NOS SONiC with an Open ethernet ecosystem. This presentation describes Broadcom's journey using SONiC from 2020 to 2024 - how we had to have a paradigm shift for moving towards disaggregation- initial challenges we faced- lessons learnt after upgrading to SONiC. In the end- we were able to achieve a tenant based architecture- remove vendor lock-ins and high hardware costs whilst improving quality- much faster- scalable and reliable DC- with lessened overall TCOP costs for the entire DC infrastructure.
