“Dell is a top-four player in the DC networking space when measured by port shipments and has grown revenue at above-market rates in the past year. Dell has been the most innovative and disruptive mainstream data center networking vendor in the market over the past 12 months. In January 2014, Dell announced support for a radically new switching paradigm (disaggregation), allowing organizations to run third-party networking OS software on selected Dell hardware. This has sent ripples throughout the

networking industry…”

Big Cloud Fabric


What is Software Defined Networking (SDN)?"It's all about simplified management“

The physical separation of the network control plane from the forwarding

plane, and where a control plane controls several devices.

Fabric Programmability

– Native REST APIs: GUI & CLI are REST clients (consistent & hardened)

– Controller is single point of API integration (versus tens of boxes)

Benefits

• No DevOps cost for network automation

• Print REST from CLI/GUI (accelerate DevOps through NetOps)

• Scalable M2M API interaction

WHY CUSTOMERS BUY: 4) RESILIENCY @ SCALEChaos Monkey Resilience proves BCF is Best in class HA at Scale


Chaos Monkey Testing: 42k simulated

End-points/VMs of background load

and 640+ forced component failures

during the “under stress” test runs

32 leaf / 6 spine / 16 rack pod

Controller fail-over every 30 seconds

Switch fail-over every 8 seconds

Link fail-over every 4 seconds

Conclusion: 640 component failures in 30 minutes with no

impact on application performance
