“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."
"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."
"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."
“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.”
