PALO ALTO, Calif., March 13, 2017 -- Pluribus Networks announced today that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Pluribus Networks to its 2017 Software-Defined Data Center 50 list. This inaugural list recognizes channel-friendly companies that provide some of the most innovative data center technology available.
Selected by CRN editors, the 2017 Software-Defined Data Center 50 list recognizes technology vendors that are leading the way in meeting a growing need for state-of-the-art offerings that virtualize infrastructure and deliver it as a service. These vendors are instrumental in helping solution providers select and deploy the right tools for building virtualized environments—a critical first step in transitioning customers to the cloud. In addition to honoring vendors for outstanding products and services, the list serves as a valuable guide for solution providers looking for best-in-class software-defined data center technology suppliers.
CRN editors select companies for the Software-Defined Data Center 50 list on the basis of multiple criteria, including each company's overall impact on the market, its influence on the channel as a whole, and the desirability of the technology and services it makes available to its partners.
Pluribus Networks provides software-defined fabric networking and analytics solutions that transform existing network infrastructures from being rigid, costly and complex, into a foundation for modern digital-centric businesses. Pluribus Networks was named to the 2017 Software-Defined Data Center 50 list for its Virtualization-Centric Fabric and Open Data Center Interconnect services, which enable high-performance enterprise and cloud data centers to move toward open network environments with higher degrees of agility, security, visibility and business relevance.
