Facebook is starting to make its case as a provider of networking technology and collaboration tools to the enterprise with the launch of a new 100-gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Wedge 100 switch, its Workplace collaboration product and its newly-formed Partner Program. But is it enough to get Facebook into the enterprise conversation?
The social media giant, with a market cap of $375 billion, has formed a strategic partnership with Edgecore Networks, owned by Taiwan-based Accton Technology, to produce its Wedge 100 switch. Businesses can now buy Facebook’s second-generation switch through Accton, Edgecore and Edgecore’s channel partners.
