SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/15 -- Big Switch Networks®, the leader in bringing hyperscale networking to data centers worldwide, announced that its joint solutions for Big Cloud Fabric™ and Big Tap™ Monitoring Fabric with Dell have been named a winner of TMC's 2015 SDN Excellence Award. The joint solutions consist of Dell Open Network hardware and services integrated with SDN software from Big Switch.

"We are proud to be a recipient of this year's SDN Excellence Award," said Douglas Murray, CEO of Big Switch Networks. "Our partnership with Dell makes it easier for enterprises to make the leap from legacy box-by-box networking to a more modern, efficient, and automated design similar to what we see at hyperscale players such as Facebook and Google."

Big Switch was the first Open SDN Fabric solution to support hardware and software disaggregation on Dell Open Network switches. With the most recent release, Big Cloud Fabric 2.5 now supports the Dell S4048-ON and Dell S6000-ON.

With more than 1,000 Dell field representatives now trained on the Big Tap/Open Networking design, both companies are generating considerable interest and customer traction with Open Networking and SDN. Dell is a trusted name in data center computing, storage, and networking, while Big Switch Networks is the leader in Open SDN fabrics. Together the companies are in a unique position to satisfy the demand for changing data center architectures.

"Recognizing leaders advancing SDN technologies, TMC is proud to announce Big Switch Networks as a recipient of the 2015 SDN Excellence Award," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "Their joint solution with Dell has demonstrated innovation and will help shape the face of the quickly evolving industry. It is our pleasure to honor Big Switch for their inspiring work."

Winners of the SDN Excellence Award will be published in the April 2015 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. The Award is presented by TMC, a global, integrated media company, and SDN Zone.
