BCF was recognized by Gartner as a visionary in the latest [Magic Quadrant](https://go.bigswitch.com/17GatedDocuments-MagicQuadrantforDataCenterNetworking_Reg.html). One of the BCF Kubernetes on-premises deployments (which includes Kubernetes, DC/OS & VMware running on multiple DCs across different geographic regions) is also referenced [here](https://portworx.com/architects-corner-kubernetes-satya-komala-nio/).

### Calico
128+
129+
[Calico](https://docs.projectcalico.org/) is an open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and native host-based workloads. Calico supports multiple data planes including: a state-of-the-art pure Linux eBPF dataplane, a standard Linux networking dataplane, and a Windows HNS dataplane. Whether you prefer cutting edge eBPF, or the familiarity of the standard primitives that existing system administrators already know, you’ll get the same, easy to use, base networking, network policy and IP address management capabilities, that have made Calico the most trusted networking and network policy solution for mission-critical cloud-native applications.

Calico supports a broad range of platforms including Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker EE, OpenStack, and bare metal services. The largest public cloud providers have selected Calico to provide network security for their hosted Kubernetes services (Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, and IBM IKS) running across tens of thousands of clusters.

Calico provides a highly scalable networking and network policy solution for connecting Kubernetes pods based on the same IP networking principles as the internet, for both Linux (open source) and Windows (proprietary - available from [Tigera](https://www.tigera.io/essentials/)). Calico can be deployed without encapsulation or overlays to provide high-performance, high-scale data center networking. Calico also provides fine-grained, intent based network security policy for Kubernetes pods via its distributed firewall.

Calico can also be run in policy enforcement mode in conjunction with other networking solutions such as Flannel, aka [canal](https://github.com/tigera/canal), or native GCE, AWS or Azure networking.
