Forward
Networks, located in Santa Clara, California, was founded in July, 2013
by four Ph.D. graduates from Stanford University, Brandon Heller, Peyman
Kazemian, Nikhil Handigol, and David Erickson.
Our four co-founders have spent their careers working to improve
networking, as contributors to OpenFlow and pioneers of software defined
networking (SDN). They saw deficiencies in network operations: extreme
complexity, human error, and outdated tools. These deficiencies make
networks easy to break and hard to fix.
