E.C.I. NETWORKS Launches New Ready-to-Plug SONiC AI Switches

AI-Fabric Switching Designed for Scale, Speed, and Simplicity

Montreal, July 2025 — E.C.I. NETWORKS proudly announces the release of its next-generation Ready-to-Plug SONiC AI switches, purpose-built for high-performance AI/ML training and inference workloads. These switches are optimized for RoCEv2 Ethernet fabrics and multi-rail GPU cluster architectures, supporting the most demanding AI deployments—including LLM training and hyperscale inference.

Key Highlights

  • Purpose-Built for AI Fabrics
    Supports multi-tier GPU cluster interconnects with lossless RoCEv2, dynamic load balancing, and end-to-end ECMP optimization.
  • 800G and 400G High-Radix Designs
    Scalable leaf and spine platforms for 2-tier and 3-tier AI data center topologies.
  • SONiC-Ready and Fully Integrated
    Switches ship pre-loaded with enterprise-grade SONiC NOS—ready for plug-and-play deployment across GPU pods and SuperPODs.
  • AI-Focused Feature Set
    • RoCEv2 with PFC & ECN
    • QPN-based ECMP hashing
    • Adaptive routing
    • Cut-through switching
    • L3 VXLAN segmentation

AI Fabric Benefits

  • Open Ethernet Architecture – No proprietary lock-in
  • SONiC Pre-Integration – Plug-and-play with built-in RoCEv2 tuning
  • High-Radix Designs – >51.2Tbps switching capacity for extreme scalability
  • Validated Stack – End-to-end optics, cables, and software tested by E.C.I.
  • ODM/OEM Hardware – Flexible configurations to match performance and budget needs

Ideal For

  • DGX H100-based GPU PODs and SuperPODs
  • AI/ML training clusters running LLMs (e.g., GPT-4, GPT-5)
  • Telcos, hyperscalers, and research institutions building backend GPU fabrics
