Case Study: U2 Cloud achieves faster provisioning and 3x performance with Big Switch Networks

U2 Cloud - Customer Case Study

U2 Cloud, a U.S.-based hosting solutions provider, needed to improve efficiency, agility, and customer experience as its user base grew. To support thousands of desktops and faster service delivery, it looked for a more scalable, cost-effective infrastructure and chose software-defined networking and storage with Big Switch Networks as part of its broader software-defined data center approach.

Big Switch Networks helped U2 Cloud implement Big Cloud Fabric in a 40GbE leaf-spine network alongside software-defined storage, enabling faster automation and simpler management. With Big Switch Networks, U2 Cloud cut provisioning time from a week to minutes, improved performance by 300%, and helped reduce desktop storage costs to as low as $5 per user.
