Getting Started With Software-Defined Networking
Learn more about one of the hottest topics in IT: Software-Defined Networking, or SDN.
SDN promises to transform proprietary, complex traditional networks into virtualized, flexible and programmable infrastructure, fully leveraging all IT resources for greater cost efficiencies and business responsiveness. Early adopters have improved resource utilization as much as 50-70%, and dramatically accelerated their response to the business, including consistent application of business policy across the network, and minimizing manually intensive network design, configuration and control.
Join Jim Metzler from Ashton, Metzler & Associates and Don Clark of NEC as they describe and define SDN as well as discuss the relationship to OpenFlow and its governing body, the ONF. They will further explore use cases driving SDN adoption, key factors in evaluating SDN controllers and the latest advancements from NEC, the leader in OpenFlow-based SDN.
