29 Big Switch Networks Testimonials

“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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."
