Breakside Brewery - NW Slabtown

You are invited to a Big Switch Networks & Dell OpenNetworking - Lunch & Learn in Portland on January 14th, 2020. Big Switch Networks CTO Paul Unbehagen will be speaking.

This interactive Lunch & Learn Session will cover Next-Gen #opennetworking and #cloudfirstnetworking. Hear from Paul and discuss with your peers how organizations are simplifying and $aving due to the modernization and cost benefits of #OpenNetworking with #BigSwitchNetworks and #DellTechnologies.

Big Switch Networks (BSN) is Dell OEMed and delivers a modern platform built on OpenNetworking and Cloud First Networking (CFN) principals. A Software Defined controller architecture with a powerful user interface that simplifies network operations and enables NaaS like never before. Network Packet Broker Security and Monitoring, Fabric Visibility and Orchestration in vCenter, Automation and Integration, Analytics and VM to VM path troubleshooting. Spin up your network resources at the same speed as your VMs and Containers, and deliver your Apps more rapidly!

There are significant CAPEX/OPEX gains that come with a Cloud First Networking (CFN) approach. This is because Software Defined OpenNetworking is simpler to operate and more cost-effective to build or scale than proprietary box-by-box infrastructures. Dell + BSN is simplified, virtualized, and modernized networking. Spend just a few minutes here:
