Increase data center flexibility, scalability, and efficiency
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is reducing the complexity, expense, and time associated with network administration in large data centers across all industries.
SDN provides controller-based networking for end-to-end visibility across the network, and the ability to move application workloads between compute resources connected to different physical switches, without requiring network reconfigurations.
SDN offers significant advantages in large data centers, including:
Cost Reduction
SDN reduces operating costs through automation of network administration.
Overhead Reduction
SDN reduces or eliminates the need to configure VLANSs on physical routers, switches, and related networking devices in order to isolate customer virtual machines from other customers.
Centralized security
The SDN controller represents a central point of control for consistent security and policy information across the enterprise, simplifying the application of firewall and content filtering policies.
