Switching Platforms
Open and disaggregated switching platforms for data center, enterprise, and edge—SONiC, OCP, and merchant silicon.
Switching platforms
What We Offer
PalC designs and integrates open switching platforms that combine disaggregated hardware, SONiC or other open NOS, and OCP-compliant form factors. From spine and leaf to edge and access, we help organizations deploy scalable, programmable switching infrastructure.
Open NOS: SONiC, Stratum, and commercial open NOS options for flexibility and vendor independence.
OCP & Whitebox: OCP Accepted and whitebox switching platforms with merchant silicon (Broadcom, Intel, etc.).
Scale & Performance: High-density 100G/400G spine and leaf, and cost-effective 1G/10G/25G access.
Automation & Telemetry: Programmability, gNMI, and telemetry for automation and observability.
Core Capabilities
Design, integration, and lifecycle for open switching.
SONiC & Open NOS
Porting, hardening, and feature development for SONiC and open NOS on multiple ASICs.
Spine & Leaf Design
Clos and spine-leaf designs for data center and campus with predictable scale.
Hardware Integration
Integration of OCP and whitebox switches with optics, cabling, and management.
Automation & Telemetry
gNMI, streaming telemetry, and automation pipelines for operations.
