Aviz Networks Launches the OneAviz Partner Program, Advancing “Together, We Network Better” into 2026

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aviz Networks, a leader in multi-vendor, open and AI networking, today announced the launch of the One (Open Networking Ecosystem) Aviz Partner Program, the next evolution of its channel strategy designed to help partners differentiate, grow profitably, and deliver production-ready AI networking solutions to customers.

The OneAviz Partner Program builds on Aviz Networks’ previously announced partner program and reflects how the market—and partner expectations—have evolved. As enterprise adoption of SONiC moves from evaluation to production and customers accelerate investments in AI-driven operations and deep observability, Aviz is shifting from broad participation to specialization, certification, and a simpler partner experience.

“Together, We Network Better has always been about building real outcomes with our partners,” said Craig Schaefer, Channels Director at Aviz Networks. “OneAviz is the next step in that journey. We’re giving partners clear specialization paths, meaningful protection, and a streamlined experience that makes Aviz easy to do business with, and rewarding to grow with.”

Why OneAviz - What’s New and Why Now

OneAviz introduces a unified framework that aligns partner expertise with customer demand across Aviz’s core solution pillars. In 2026, Aviz is introducing three Partner Specialist designations aligned to its solution pillars SONiC, Deep Network Observability (DNO), and Network Copilot™, so partners can differentiate with validated solution focus and deliver outcomes with confidence.

OneAviz Partner Program Introduction

To enable these specializations, OneAviz is anchored by new Aviz certifications, which serve as the primary benchmark for achieving specialist designations across sales and technical roles. These certifications are designed to help partners learn, design, deploy, and support Aviz solutions with consistency and confidence.

OneAviz also enhances partner economics and operational clarity through an improved two-stage Partner Deal Registration (PDR) model, designed for faster turnaround, baseline discount auto-approval, and added protection for partner-sourced deals, while remaining compatible with specialist benefits.

Finally, OneAviz improves the “show, not slideware” experience with enhanced lab and demo access, including NFR software options aligned to certification curricula and partner enablement.

A New Partner Portal - Now Live on the Aviz Website

To support these initiatives and act as the operational hub for OneAviz, Aviz has launched a new Partner Portal, which is now accessible directly from the Aviz Networks website. The portal centralizes key partner workflows including deal registration, partner marketing funds, and learning/certification, while enabling more automation and transparency across the partner experience.

Who the OneAviz Partner Program Is For

The OneAviz Partner Program is designed for a broad ecosystem, including VARs, systems integrators (including GSIs), distributors, and technology partners. Partners progress by aligning to one or more solution specializations and completing certifications mapped to those solutions.

Transition for Existing Partners

Current Aviz partners will continue to participate in the program, with clear pathways to earn specialist designations and certifications as OneAviz rolls out beginning January 2026. Aviz will provide onboarding guidance and enablement resources to support a smooth transition.

Partner Perspectives

“The focus on certifications, deal protection, and marketing investment shows Aviz is serious about partner success,” said Alan Fagan, VP of Sales, at EPS Global. “This program is built for growth, not just resale.”

“OneAviz simplifies how we engage from enablement to deal registration,” said Bob Tynan, Chief Strategy Officer at RocNet Supply. “That ease of doing business matters.”

“As customers move from SONiC evaluation to production, confidence and operational maturity become critical,” said Victor Proscurchin, CEO of OpenGlobe, the first authorized Aviz partner in Latin America. “Training, certifications, and partner enablement bring the structure and maturity to give customers the confidence to adopt open networking as a long-term, production-ready path.”

Continuing the Mission: Together, We Network Better

With OneAviz, Aviz Networks reinforces its belief that open ecosystems succeed when expertise, automation, and AI converge. The program supports partners across the full lifecycle: recruit, onboard, enable, manage, and grow, while keeping Aviz simple, profitable, and easy to do business with.
