Big Switch Achieves Nutanix AHV Integrated Networking DesignationSANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Big Switch Networks®, The Cloud-First Networking Company, today announced that Big Cloud Fabric™ (BCF) is now Nutanix Ready AHV with integrated networking designation, enabling physical network automation through integration with Nutanix Acropolis through Prism Element. Big Switch is transforming data centers by leveraging public cloud constructs as first principles for architecting enterprise private clouds. BCF is a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)-based logical networking fabric, optimized for Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, due to its native integration and network automation for HCI operations. With the BCF and AHV solution, DevOps teams can now experience the same agile operational workflows, automation, and simplicity of network provisioning as experienced in the public cloud, in their on-prem private clouds. Zero-Touch Networking with BCF
BCF is the only networking fabric to support multi-orchestration environments via a logical E-VPC architecture, which enables multiple orchestrators to operate within logically isolated domains while sharing a common physical networking fabric. Logical E-VPCs are ideal for use cases such as rapid CI/CD driven application deployments, multi-tenant managed service environments to support varied workloads, and dev/test private clouds. By eliminating the need for dedicated infrastructure per orchestrator, BCF's E-VPC provides dramatic improvements in application deployment and service enablement. Analogous with server consolidation, BCF E-VPCs offers a consolidated physical network for multiple different private cloud orchestrators. BCF reduces networking TCO by deploying on industry-standard open switch hardware from Dell EMC Open Networking, Edgecore, and HPE Altoline. Nutanix AHV Automated Fabric Bundle In addition to the Nutanix Ready AHV with integrated networking designation, BCF has been validated Nutanix Ready Core for networking and Big Switch is a member of the Nutanix technology alliance partner program, Nutanix Elevate. All products featured in Nutanix Ready have completed verification testing. Nutanix Ready showcases select trusted solutions designed to meet a variety of business needs, by demonstrating mutual product compatibility and interoperability. Supporting quotes “We are pleased to see Big Cloud Fabric certified for Nutanix AHV,” said Sridhar Devarapalli, General Manager of Networking and Cloud Services, Nutanix. “BCF is a highly complementary networking solution, offering automation of network provisioning and seamless integration with Acropolis. The solution’s Enterprise-VPC everywhere approach empowers our engineering teams to manage their networking needs for their environments. Operators also benefit from full visibility of the HCI stack - compute, storage and network - for easy operation of Nutanix deployments at scale.” “EPS Global is excited to be partnering with Big Switch and Nutanix to bring the Nutanix-Ready Interconnect Fabric Bundle to market. The bundle includes best of breed open hardware from our long-term hardware partners Finisar and Edgecore Networks,” said Alan Fagan, Director of Sales North America, EPSGlobal. “We have the logistics and technical resources in place to help resellers get this integrated solution into end users' hands quickly and seamlessly and we are looking forward to contributing to the success of this program.” Resources About Big Switch Networks For additional information: visit us www.bigswitch.com, reach us [email protected] or follow us on Twitter @bigswitch, LinkedIn and YouTube.
