29 Big Switch Networks Testimonials

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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 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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."
