OCP EMEA Summit – The Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) project, an open source network operating system (NOS) under the Linux Foundation, today announced continued momentum with the addition of four new members and a strong presence at the OCP EMEA Summit 2025, taking place April 29–30 at the Convention Centre Dublin.
Arista Networks has joined the SONiC Foundation as a Premier Member, along with Auradine, Nexthop.ai, and STORDIS as General Members. These new additions reflect the increasing global adoption of SONiC and the collaborative commitment to advancing open networking solutions across diverse markets.
“We’re excited to welcome our newest members to the SONiC community,” said Arpit Joshipura, SVP/GM Networking, Edge & IoT at the Linux Foundation. “Their commitment further underscores SONiC’s position as the preferred platform for open, scalable, and disaggregated networking. With new demos, an active ecosystem, and in-depth sessions at OCP EMEA, the momentum behind SONiC has never been stronger.”
SONiC Collaboration on Display at OCP EMEA Summit
At the OCP EMEA Summit, SONiC will host a dedicated booth showcasing 10 live demonstrations across both days of the event. These demos will highlight real-world SONiC use cases in areas such as multicloud automation, data center disaggregation, telemetry, and edge deployments. In addition, SONiC’s presence will also be amplified by six exhibiting member companies: Broadcom, Microsoft, Celestica, STORDIS, Google, and NVIDIA, reinforcing the collaborative strength and industry-wide investment in the project.
In addition, SONiC member STORDIS will host a co-located event, the 2025 SONiC Open Insight Forum: Scaling Open Networking, on Tuesday, April 29 from 13:00–17:00, also at the Convention Centre Dublin. The forum will bring together SONiC experts, contributors, and adopters to explore deployment insights, community-driven development, and enterprise readiness for SONiC-based networking.
