Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in the real-world


White paper by Nuage Networks, published on 7/15/2014

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has evolved over the last few years from concept, to basic protocols to a new framework for evolved data networking. In 2014 this new approach to networking has found its way into pilots and even production networks across multiple industries. That's because SDN allows users to abstract network services from the underlying network hardware - turning the standard network deployment on its head and focusing squarely on the applications that the network provides connectivity for. This new level of flexibility and agility is enabling businesses to provide faster more reliable IT and Cloud services than they ever could before.

Realizing these benefits takes time because SDN is still an emerging technology. Solutions are evolving and early adopters are undertaking much of the integration work to make new SDN gear work with their existing infrastructures.

This session will examine the benefits and challenges of implementing SDN through a case study in which a customer successfully deployed SDN technology.
