Executive Summary: Force10 Networks, Inc. delivers high performance network solutions for datacenter, service provider and enterprise customers who have critical business dependencies on their networks. The company’s offerings are designed to deliver new economics by virtualizing and automating Ethernet networks. Force10’s high density and resilient Ethernet switching and routing products increase network availability, agility and efficiency while reducing power and cooling costs. Those delivering cloud computing services – both private IT organizations and public service providers – encounter each of these challenges when designing and building underlying cloud networks.
Cloud computing providers also have a number of other challenges related to the unique characteristics of cloud computing technology and supporting business models. These include higher requirements around cost and efficiency, partitioning of multi-tenant resources, phased investments, maintaining performance during traffic spikes, control and automation, and more. Over the last several months and even earlier, Force10 has announced a number of activities and capabilities that help address many of these needs. Based on the company’s value proposition and product capabilities, Neovise believes Force10 Networks should be considered by any organization delivering large scale or high performance cloud computing services.
