Bigswitch Networks: Enhancing Security and Network Integrity
Douglas Murray, CEOThe company’s specialized, ultra-low cost fabric tool— Big Tap Monitoring Fabric helps organizations monitor their existing networks and network taps, and facilitates coordination between teams. It helps in network troubleshooting, security, compliance, and performance monitoring. Using an SDN-centric architecture, Big Tap delivers operational simplicity and multi-tenancy for multiple teams to simultaneously perform network monitoring using tenant-specific inline or out-of-band tools and policies.
Big Switch’s Big Cloud Fabric is designed for data centers, and its advanced bare metal SDN switching fabric is intended for new data center pods such as private cloud, big data, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Big Cloud Fabric embraces hyperscale data center design principles to enable rapid innovation, easy provisioning and management, while reducing overall costs. “By featuring SDN software and bare metal Ethernet switch hardware in pod designs, Big Cloud Fabric delivers multi-hypervisor based networking to a broad class of users,” says Murray.
All of Big Switch’s software solutions are based on the company’s orchestration enablement platform. With the help of these solutions, Big Switch is able to assess business impacts, prioritize corrective actions, and improve service quality and customer experience. Big Switch helps in streamlining critical network operations, while bridging today’s networks.
Since inception, Big Switch has been providing the scale that network administrator need. The company reduces cost of an organization’s networking by using SDN. Big Switch is moving toward delivering higher quality product experience and faster innovation. Many customers have benefited immensely by implementing Big Switch’s SDN solutions. In one instance, Dell, an end-to-end computing solutions company used Big Switch’s Big Tap Monitoring Fabric software. By integrating this software into a solution Dell Open Networking, the client was able to maximize its existing and future network investments. Dell embraced SDN and paired it with one of the most effective solutions of Big Switch and was able to solve its networking issues.
Another success story involves BlueData which used Big Switch Network’s Big Tap Monitoring and Big Cloud Fabric to solve the cost and networking issues the company was facing. After using Big Switch’s solutions, BlueData was able to enable the network control to be directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services.
Big Switch offers customers the broadest range of deployment options to drive new levels of business agility, flexibility, and reduced cost of ownership. Moving ahead, the company plans to continue leveraging new technologies to unlock additional value and benefits for customers.
“We leverage our solutions in fit-for-purpose products which are designed for enterprises, cloud providers, and service providers”
