6. Pica8
Website: www.pica8.com
Pica8™ is fulfilling the promise of true software-defined networking (SDN) by providing the world's first open, hardware-independent switching system. Pica8's open switches transform the data center by decoupling hardware from software. This new approach provides greater flexibility and adaptability and supports increased automation, while driving down implementation- and management-related costs of cloud and virtualized applications.7. Intune Networks
Intune can uniquely extend SDN across the metro network by abstracting it into a 'giant' local area switch. Intune’s distributed switch architecture transforms multiple switching and transport elements into a single 'local' switch, with ports hundreds of miles apart.
The entire network can then be controlled, via an open control protocol interface, as a single switching element. Or, for SDN's implemented with virtual switches at the network edge, it can provide them with a full-mesh of non-blocking connectivity - just as they expect from local switches in the data centre.
