29 Big Switch Networks Testimonials

"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 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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“We wanted more points of input than our traditional NPB could handle economically, so we decided to go with a white box solution and Big Monitoring Fabric from Big Switch Networks to gather packets and forward them to the tools as needed…We are using SDN first in our monitoring space, and evaluating where we want to go next.”

“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.”

"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."

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