29 Big Switch Networks Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"Cloud orchestration is critical for enterprises and service providers building public and/or private cloud environments. Citrix's industry-leading and scalable CloudPlatform orchestration with Big Switch's SDN-based and zero-touch Big Cloud Fabric provides rapid change velocity as well as tremendous operational simplicity for deploying cost-optimized and scalable cloud infrastructures."

"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."

"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."

"Enterprises and service providers are increasingly using Ubuntu OpenStack to build their cloud infrastructure. Ubuntu is leading provider of OpenStack in production, together with SDN powered Big Cloud fabric it provides a turn-key OpenStack cloud solution to attain tremendous application agility and operational efficiency."

"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."

"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."

“Response for our optimised infrastructure has been good, and we are quickly expanding our platform to meet market demands. Tapping on Big Switch’s cutting edge tools, we have simplified our service management process and boosted our scalability. This allows us to be highly responsive to our customer needs while upholding tight security controls – something critical to us as we manage a private, multi-tenant cloud.”

"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."

"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."

"OpenStack, SDN software and bare metal switching hardware are a natural match. We are partnering with Big Switch to certify the Big Cloud Fabric with the Mirantis OpenStack distribution and Fuel, the open source installer bundled with it. The result is automated resilient configurations of OpenStack components threaded all the way through to network infrastructure."

"Check Point is proud to partner with the best solution providers to ensure that virtualized deployments can benefit from our innovative multi-layered security solutions. SDN as a whole represents an important evolution in networking technologies and Big Switch is one of the pioneers of this space. Customers can now reap the efficiencies inherent in the Big Switch Cloud Fabric environment, while ensuring that their virtual infrastructure is secured from the latest cyber threats."
