29 Big Switch Networks Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"Big Mon has helped us leap forward in automation and will reduce CAPEX and OPEX. It has significantly enhanced network visibility and the automation aspect is great too. Big Switch has definitely saved us considerable man hours. Loving it!"

“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.”

“With our software-defined storage and networking from Dell, Nexenta and Big Switch Networks, we can provision environments in minutes.”

"To top it all off, the support and responsiveness of the Big Switch team has been exceptional – in Big Switch, we have a partner whose commitment to quality and responsiveness echoes our own. Big Cloud Fabric is the perfect cornerstone to our WaaS solution – providing us the flexibility, integration with VMware and affordability."

"The only reason to form a partnership is to bring a better product or service to our clients; with that in mind, we're eager to work with Big Switch Networks through the Technology Alliance Partnership and take clients to the next stage of network monitoring. Using Garland Technology products to See every bit, byte, and packet™ within Big Switch Open SDN architecture offers clients a clear and cost-effective way to add flexibility, agility, and scale to their enterprise network."

“Most of the products available in the market were based on overlay networking technologies. We had almost given up on finding the right solution, and considered developing the technology inhouse.”

"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."

"Big Data analytics has traditionally been complex to deploy and manage, with high equipment and operational cost that effectively shuts out the enterprise. That's about to change. BlueData’s upcoming Big Data platform in conjunction with Big Switch's SDN-based Big Cloud Fabric will offer the first true Big Data private cloud solution that is multi-tenant, operationally simple and ultra-low cost, so companies of all sizes can get the same value out of their Big Data as the big players already do."

“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.”

"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."

"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 Switch’s technology and UI are the best around. They also have the ability to leverage multiple low cost/high quality hardware vendors. Big Monitoring Fabric has added scale and usability to our tap aggregation strategy while keeping costs down."

“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.”
