SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- At the Open Networking Summit 2013, NoviFlow Inc. announced the availability of NoviSwitch® 1124 and 1248, the industry’s first switches that support the OpenFlow™ 1.3 standard and are capable of achieving speeds of up to 200 gigabits per second (Gbps). The move positions the company as an early leader in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), the network optimization technology that brings the benefits of network virtualization and programmability to large data centers, network operators, cloud and financial service providers.“The OpenFlow protocol has proven itself in real-world SDN deployments by leading companies, such as Google and Facebook. Now we’re giving OpenFlow 1.3 a high-performance boost,” said Dominique Jodoin, president and chief executive officer of NoviFlow Inc. “At NoviFlow we deliver high-performance OpenFlow switching solutions for today’s network hungry applications such as cloud computing, SDN, and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Our products combine the benefits of virtualization and programmability with network processors that can handle complex IP flows. This makes it possible for data centers to keep up with today’s exponentially growing networking demands.”“Stronger definition of network behavior in software is a growing trend, and open interfaces are going to lead to faster innovation,” says Dan Pitt, executive director of the Open Networking Foundation. “We are excited to be joined by leading global companies to help develop and implement advanced networking capabilities for today’s operators and enterprises.”NoviFlow
