About

Big Switch Networks was a cloud networking company founded in 2010 by Kyle Forster and Guido Appenzeller, originating from Stanford University's software-defined networking (SDN) research team. Based in Santa Clara, California, the company specialized in SDN solutions for hybrid cloud and data center environments, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for enterprises. The company offered products such as Big Cloud Fabric, a next-generation SDN fabric for data centers, and Big Monitoring Fabric, a network packet broker for security and performance monitoring. Big Switch focused on providing hybrid cloud networking solutions that ensured consistency across on-premises and public cloud environments. The company partnered with industry leaders like Dell EMC, HPE, and Edgecore to deliver its technology. In February 2020, Big Switch Networks was acquired by Arista Networks, which integrated its technologies into the CloudVision platform, enhancing network observability and automation capabilities.
