29 Big Switch Networks Testimonials

“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.”

"Cloud applications such as Big Data and VDI are demanding rich features and very high network performance from today's network infrastructure. Using widely-adopted Broadcom StrataXGS(R) Trident and Trident-II based hardware platforms and leveraging the complete, cloud-scale feature set of our silicon, Big Switch is extending their Switch Light OS to offer a hyperscale SDN fabric solution to enterprise and service provider networks."

“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.”

"Our organization has experienced a mindset change, BCF has positively altered how work is performed. T-Mobile selected BCF for its OpenStack environment to drive innovation and improve business process agility. Controller configuration & programmability were the “killer” BCF features our team was most excited about."

"We wanted to find a commercial product where we didn't have to sit down and write code for hours. The idea for us is plug it in, get a basic configuration going, and then tweak it from there."

"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."

"If you have a vSAN cluster, Big Cloud Fabric is the best choice for system management. It has opened up the ‘network black box’ for vSAN managers. We now have an easy-to-manage HCI environment. Big Cloud Fabric was significantly easier and faster to deploy, when compared to our prior data center network solution and it has provided ongoing operational efficiencies due to the superior technical architecture. Additionally we have experienced zero network configuration errors since deploying the solution."

"Our Open Networking initiative is a prime example of delivering to our customers innovative technology, services and choice to embrace Software Defined Networking – pairing Big Tap Monitoring Fabric software into a solution that brings Dell Open Networking platforms to market – to maximize existing and future network investments."

"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."

"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."

"Today, understanding application performance across the network requires a holistic operational view that helps manage performance to efficiently deliver applications to the end user. Riverbed's SteelCentral performance management and Big Tap's scale-out monitoring fabric provide the visibility needed to diagnose and cure issues before end users notice a problem."

"As SDN is gaining momentum, it is critical to define the role of security technologies within this new architecture. By working together with Big Switch, a Blue Coat Business Assurance Technology Partner, our goal is not to simply build security into SDN deployments, but to provide security solutions that empower businesses to take advantage of SDN concepts to improve overall network security and efficiency."

"Software-Defined Infrastructure is transforming legacy data centers by bringing new levels of speed, agility and ease of management at dramatically reduced costs. The combination of Nexenta's Software-Defined Storage solutions and Big Switch's Software-Defined Networking powered Big Cloud Fabric enables customers to deploy multi-tenant cloud infrastructures on industry standard hardware with unprecedented flexibility and operational simplicity."

"Sophisticated DDoS attacks and security breaches demand speedy detection for continuous and secure business operations. The A10 and Big Switch joint solution enables rapid mean-time-to-mitigation of threats by leveraging the A10 Thunder TPS' unprecedented performance and rich attack detection capabilities with Big Tap's data center–wide scale and sophisticated flow–based policies."

“Dubai Municipality selected Big Switch Networks for this project because the company offered the most innovative solution for our specific needs, and radically decreased our costs and offered network automation. Big Cloud Fabric provided us significant and ongoing advantages that we did not previously experience and would not have experienced with the other solutions we reviewed.”
