“Being able to take advantage of CapEx savings that result from foregoing yesteryear’s legacy networking infrastructure is important. Equally important is agility. Smaller infrastructure teams often have to move nimbly, not being able to afford departments full of experts to get things going … Setting up [BCF] was nothing short of amazing. Once the cabling is done, it’s literally ‘write down MAC address, switch on, grab a cup of coffee and wait for the magic to happen’. In well under two hours, we had a hyperscale grade ultra-performant cloud fabric up and running. Zero-touch networking is a reality.”
"By delivering highly reliable, standards - based switches for data center top-of-rack deployments and spine networks, Edge-Core Networks helps customers reduce the cost of their private and public cloud infrastructures. Edge-Core’s Gigabit Ethernet, 10G Ethernet and 40G Ethernet hardware switches, developed by its parent company, Accton Technology, together with Big Switch Networks’ Big Cloud Fabric and Big Tap products provide customers with complete SDN solutions that reduce capital and operating costs while enabling more rapid provisioning of new applications and capacity."
"Big Mon has been a life saver. It is very cost-effective, requires minimal setup, is easy to manage, and we get more features without having to license each one we use. With Big Mon, we were able to get the port density and the capability we needed with half the capital investment, compared to the ‘leading’ NPB vendor. We’ve met all our objectives with room for growth."
