Open Networking Enterprise Suite (ONES)

Introduction and Overview

Open Networking Enterprise Suite (ONES) is a Network Orchestration, Visibility, and Assurance solution for multi-vendor and multi-NOS operated Network Infrastructure. ONES provides a one-stop solution from delivering deep visibility into your datacenter networks to extending 24x7 support functions for SONiC. It also hosts a powerful analytics engine that assists users to identify network issues and troubleshoot their networks, in case of common network anomalies and disruptions.

ONES uses a Auto-discovery for SONiC and YAML-based Non-SONiC Device Discovery Template for adding switches and continuously collects streaming telemetry data from them to provide insights on;

• Data Center Inventory

• Network State

• Platform and System Health

• Control and Data Plane resource utilization

• Traffic Utilization

• Software Compliance

ONES monitors various control and data plane metrics to provide these insights.

ONES orchestration provide network admins to automate the fabric configuration using configuration templates for provisioning physical interfaces, layer 3 configuration for building IP-CLOS fabric using BGP as a routing protocol including BGP-unnumbered, system services including NTP, SNMP, SYSLOG etc. ONES orchestration not only configures the fabric but also make sure the Fabric is operational by doing verifying the configuration at every stage.

ONES provides north bound API access for configurations originating from external orchestration tools.
