Recorded live at the OCP Regional Summit Dublin 2025, this session features Gidi Navon of Marvell and Taras Chornyi of PLVISION exploring how OpenLAN Switching is pushing open networking beyond cloud environments and into campus, enterprise, and industrial deployments. As part of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), OpenLAN is building a community-driven switching ecosystem centered on open-source innovation, SONiC integration, and cloud-based management.
In this practical and forward-looking talk, the speakers explain how OpenLAN extends the success of OpenWiFi into Ethernet switching, enabling scalable, cloud-managed infrastructure with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), northbound APIs, and true multi-vendor interoperability. They also introduce a community-enhanced, fully open-source SONiC approach designed to deliver greater transparency, flexibility, and freedom from vendor lock-in.
Key Takeaways
What OpenLAN Is: An overview of the OpenLAN Switching initiative and its role within the TIP ecosystem for open, cloud-managed networking.
Cloud-Managed Switching: How OpenLAN enables Zero Touch Provisioning, centralized orchestration, and simplified operations for modern campus and enterprise networks.
Growing Ecosystem: Progress across hardware, software, ODM participation, and multi-vendor support—with 22+ switch SKUs and 4+ ODMs already in the ecosystem.
SONiC Integration: How OpenLAN is evolving its NOS strategy around SONiC, including containerized northbound agents and a more open, transparent software model.
Real-World Applications: Use cases spanning campuses, public venues, and industrial environments where flexible, cloud-native switching is becoming essential.
What’s Next: A look at OpenLAN certification plans and the roadmap for broader industry adoption.
