Case Study: CleanSafeCloud achieves secure, scalable cloud services with Edgecore Networks (powered by Big Cloud Fabric)

Delivering Secure, Clean Cloud Services with Big Cloud Fabric and Edgecore Networks

CleanSafeCloud is a Swiss cloud service provider building a secure, energy‑efficient Object Storage offering and needed a fast, low‑cost, scalable network that avoided vendor lock‑in. To meet requirements for high availability, strong security, easy OpenStack integration and minimal operational overhead, they chose an SDN fabric approach and used Big Switch Networks’ Big Cloud Fabric starter kit that included bare‑metal switches from Edgecore Networks.

The deployed solution used Big Switch’s BCF SDN fabric (integrated with OpenStack) alongside Edgecore Networks’ leaf and spine switches from the starter kit, enabling zero‑touch provisioning and centralized management. CleanSafeCloud had an initial production network up in under two hours, achieved over 50% projected three‑year CapEx savings on hardware, supports roughly 2,000 VMs per two‑rack setup, and gained on‑demand scaling, DC‑grade resilience and faster, audit‑friendly application deployments — with Edgecore Networks’ hardware playing a key role in the cost and performance improvements.
