Evolving SDN: Tackling Strategic, Technology, and Operational Challenges for Web-Scale Deployments

Software-defined networking has finally evolved to address key gaps plaguing businesses trying to capitalize on emerging cloud-enabled architectures. It offers a level of operational efficiency, interoperability, and scale thus far impossible in traditional network infrastructure. Innovations in pervasively networked software are enabling key innovations in virtualization, automation, and context-aware service delivery. Carriers and large enterprises in particular, are looking to deploy software that helps them modernize their networks to better support the onslaught of mobile, distributed, and data-intensive applications and cloud-enabled services necessary to compete.

Key topics of discussion:
  • What are the major market drivers for SDN?
  • How are carriers and enterprises implementing SDN to enable distributed applications and cloud infrastructures?
  • How can customers prepare for SDN, given the technology and marketplace is rapidly evolving?
  • What are the key industry standards efforts and how do they differ? (IETF, ONF, NFV, etc.)
