Production-Grade Solutions for Modern Networks
PalC delivers turnkey solutions built on deep networking, cloud, and security engineering - from SONiC-based open networking and AI-ready data centre fabrics to network observability, hybrid cloud infrastructure, and identity & access management. Each solution is engineered for production-grade reliability, not proof-of-concept simplicity.
SONiC & Open Networking
Data Center & AI Fabrics
Network Observability
Cloud & Hybrid Cloud
Identity & Access Management
Data Center & AI Fabrics
High-performance data centre fabrics engineered for AI/ML workloads - RoCEv2/ECN tuning, lossless Ethernet, GPU cluster networking, and spine-leaf EVPN architectures.
Network Observability & Visibility
End-to-end network observability with INT, gNMI, streaming telemetry, flow analytics, and SLO-driven assurance for carrier and enterprise environments.
Cloud & Hybrid Cloud
Private, hybrid, and multi-cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes, Cilium CNI, VPP data planes, and GitOps-driven lifecycle operations for regulated and sovereign environments.
Identity & Access Management
Zero trust IAM architecture - passwordless MFA, JIT privileged access, SSO federation, identity governance, and OPA-based fine-grained authorisation policy.
PalC solutions are not generic consulting frameworks - they are engineered outcomes built on real protocol expertise, platform engineering depth, and operational experience. Each solution combines purpose-built architecture with proven technology stacks, delivered by engineers who understand the systems they're deploying, not just the tools they're configuring.
SONiC & Open Networking
Disaggregated, vendor-neutral networking at production scale
SONiC-based open networking solutions for organisations moving away from proprietary network operating systems - with full-stack engineering from NOS deployment to fabric orchestration and day-2 operations.
SONiC NOS Deployment
SONiC installation, hardware abstraction layer (SAI) integration, and feature enablement across white-box and ODM switching platforms.
EVPN/VXLAN Fabric Design
Spine-leaf EVPN/VXLAN fabric architecture with multi-tenancy, distributed gateway, and seamless L2/L3 segmentation.
Open Telemetry & gNMI
Streaming telemetry with gNMI, YANG models, and open collector pipelines for real-time network observability.
Multi-Vendor Integration
Interoperability across Edgecore, Celestica, Dell, and other ODM platforms with consistent SONiC feature parity.
Key Highlights
- Vendor-neutral - no proprietary lock-in across switching hardware
- Production-proven - deployed at hyperscale and enterprise environments
- Full lifecycle - from lab validation to production operations
- Cost-effective - disaggregated hardware reduces CapEx significantly
- Community-backed - active SONiC community with continuous innovation
Data Center Modernisation & AI Fabrics
High-performance fabrics engineered for AI/ML and modern workloads
Data centre fabric solutions designed for the performance demands of GPU clusters, distributed training, and high-throughput computing - lossless Ethernet, RoCEv2 tuning, and intelligent traffic engineering.
AI/ML Fabric Architecture
Spine-leaf topologies optimised for east-west GPU traffic with ECMP, adaptive routing, and congestion-free forwarding.
RoCEv2 & Lossless Ethernet
Priority Flow Control (PFC), ECN marking, and DCQCN tuning for RDMA over Converged Ethernet in AI training clusters.
GPU Cluster Networking
Network design for NVIDIA/AMD GPU clusters - NVLink topology, InfiniBand-to-Ethernet bridging, and job scheduler integration.
Fabric Automation
Zero-touch provisioning, config templating, and intent-based fabric management for large-scale data centre deployments.
Key Highlights
- Lossless performance - zero packet drop for RDMA workloads
- AI-optimised - fabric tuned for distributed training patterns
- 400G ready - designed for current and next-gen speeds
- Scale-out - architecture supports thousands of endpoints
- Automated - intent-based provisioning reduces human error
Network Observability & Visibility
End-to-end visibility with telemetry, flow analytics, and SLO-driven assurance
Network observability solutions that go beyond traditional monitoring - streaming telemetry, in-band network telemetry (INT), flow-based analytics, and SLO-driven assurance with actionable runbooks.
Streaming Telemetry
gNMI/gRPC-based telemetry collection replacing legacy SNMP polling - real-time, model-driven, and scalable to thousands of devices.
Flow Analytics
NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX collection with traffic classification, top-talker analysis, and anomaly detection dashboards.
In-Band Network Telemetry
INT metadata for per-packet path tracing, hop-by-hop latency measurement, and queue depth visibility across data centre fabrics.
SLO-Driven Assurance
Service-level objective definition, continuous validation, automated alerting, and operational runbooks for proactive network management.
Key Highlights
- Real-time - sub-second telemetry replacing polling-based monitoring
- Per-packet - INT provides hop-level visibility into forwarding behaviour
- Actionable - SLO-driven alerts with operational runbooks
- Open standards - gNMI, YANG, OpenTelemetry, and open collectors
- Scalable - designed for carrier and hyperscale network environments
Cloud & Hybrid Cloud
Private and hybrid cloud infrastructure for sovereign and regulated environments
Cloud solutions engineered for organisations that need infrastructure control - Kubernetes-centric platforms with Cilium networking, VPP data planes, and GitOps-driven lifecycle operations for private, hybrid, and multi-cloud deployments.
Private Cloud Infrastructure
Production-grade Kubernetes clusters with multi-tenancy, RBAC, persistent storage, and high-availability configurations for enterprise workloads.
Cilium & eBPF Networking
Cilium CNI with eBPF-based network policy, service mesh, and observability - replacing traditional kube-proxy and iptables-based networking.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud
Consistent infrastructure across on-premises, AWS, Azure, and GCP with unified policy, networking, and observability planes.
GitOps Operations
ArgoCD/Flux-driven continuous delivery with infrastructure-as-code, drift detection, and automated rollback for cloud lifecycle management.
Key Highlights
- Sovereign - full data and infrastructure control for regulated industries
- Kubernetes-native - built on K8s with production-grade networking
- Multi-cloud - consistent operations across any cloud provider
- GitOps-driven - declarative, auditable, and automated lifecycle
- eBPF-powered - high-performance networking with Cilium
Identity & Access Management
Zero trust IAM architecture for enterprise and regulated environments
IAM solutions built on zero trust principles - identity-centric security perimeters with passwordless authentication, just-in-time privileged access, federated SSO, and fine-grained policy enforcement.
Zero Trust Architecture
Identity-first security design with continuous verification, micro-segmentation, and least-privilege access across all infrastructure layers.
Passwordless MFA & SSO
FIDO2/WebAuthn passwordless authentication, adaptive MFA, and federated single sign-on across enterprise applications and cloud platforms.
Privileged Access Management
Just-in-time privileged access, session recording, credential vaulting, and break-glass procedures for critical infrastructure access.
Identity Governance
Lifecycle management, access certification, role mining, and OPA-based fine-grained authorisation policy enforcement.
Key Highlights
- Zero trust - identity as the primary security perimeter
- Passwordless - FIDO2/WebAuthn eliminates credential-based attacks
- Just-in-time - privileged access granted only when needed
- Policy-as-code - OPA-based authorisation for auditability
- Compliance-ready - ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and industry controls
