Case Study: DeNA achieves greater IT agility and operational efficiency with Big Switch Networks' Big Cloud Fabric

How DeNA Increased IT Agility by Breaking Down Network and Server Silos

DeNA, the Tokyo-based operator of mobile and online services, was struggling with slow IT delivery caused by separate networking and server teams, along with a heavy reliance on change request tickets. As its infrastructure grew to around 4,000 on-premise servers plus cloud resources, the company needed a more agile way to support rapid service launches and improve operational efficiency. DeNA turned to Big Switch Networks’ Big Cloud Fabric, alongside OpenStack, to connect its server and network environments.

Big Switch Networks implemented Big Cloud Fabric to create an integrated, automated private cloud with centralized management and seamless OpenStack integration. The result was a streamlined operation that eliminated change request tickets, improved infrastructure agility, and let engineers innovate faster; DeNA also brought the platform into production on schedule and under budget. Big Switch Networks’ solution enabled automatic mapping between OpenStack and the physical network, delivering measurable gains in efficiency and helping DeNA continue expanding its services.
