"Today's big data analytics tools rely on Apache Hadoop as the platform for drawing new, powerful insights from data in a highly-scalable, flexible and cost effective manner. Integrating the Hortonworks Data Platform on Big Switch's bare metal- and SDN-based Big Cloud Fabric provides a scalable, multi-tenant and cost-optimized solution that expands the power of open source Hadoop to our joint enterprise and service provider customers."
“Like water pipes, we must create a network with an architecture that can be simply scaled out without requiring additional settings and where all the functionality of routers and firewalls are virtualized or we will again face the problems of the past. BCF is the only available fabric with the simplicity to match those needs.”
"Software-defined networking and network virtualization enable more robust, responsive IT infrastructures. Big Switch Networks Open SDN architecture and the company's commitment to open standards and open APIs, with support across the entire network including physical and virtual infrastructure, provides a long term path to network agility, network innovation, and greater overall utilization."
