MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Big Switch Networks today announced distribution partnerships with ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC) and Net One Systems to address the growing demand in Japan for Network Virtualization and Open Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions. Big Switch Networks’ Open SDN product suite includes an SDN controller that serves as a network application platform for a variety of applications, including network monitoring and data center network virtualization.

“Japan is the largest and most sophisticated international market for SDN and a very important market for Big Switch Networks. We are committed to the success of our Japanese customers, and are pleased to partner with very innovative technology companies like CTC and Net One Systems to deliver our Open SDN product suite in Japan,” said Guido Appenzeller, CEO and co-founder of Big Switch Networks.
