| Description |
Nicira is still somewhat stealthy, but is trying to provide virtualized networking software to help make the underlying networking layer more agile. |
| GigaOM’s Take |
Networking has to change, and several startups — as well as large vendors — are trying to change networking so it delivers the same scalability and agility that virtualization has delivered for servers and storage. Nicira, with its VMware and Open Flow roots, has a lot of experience, lending it credibility. |
