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.

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 ultraperformant cloud fabric up and running. Zero-touch networking is a reality.

Specific examples show the conven tional configuration and compare this with how you do it with Cumulus. We were already well-acquainted with the company and for this project, too, they offered us good advice on which products would suit us best and make the most sense.
