We distributed approximately 30 Pronto 3290 switches among the following campuses:

Hello Sir/Madame
I am a master’s student at the University of Houston. We at the University of Houston are looking forward to deploy openflow in our campus. Can you please guide me in this regard.
Also we would like to know how can we apply for the OpenFlow switch donation.

Sorry, there is no open solicitation at this point for switch donations. I will write to you offline about deploying OpenFlow at Univ of Houston.
