According to SDxCentral’s 2015 Special Report: Network Virtualization in the Data Center, there are 10 vendors that have registered measurable deployments in the network virtualization arena – but how many will still be competing by this time next year?
The report cites VMware, Cisco, Juniper Networks, and Nuage Networks as the “Big Four” in the network virtualization space, with the most installations and customers for network virtualization. (Other market research puts Cisco ahead of VMware as number 1.) The next six vendors, in order, are Big Switch Networks, HP, IBM, PLUMgrid, Midokura, and Pluribus Networks.
