Read More Take back the network What do enterprises need from SDNs? Perhaps more than anything, control of their own networking destiny. Read More At Goldman Sachs SDN is déjà vu all over again Goldman Sachs has been doing SDNs for a long time. It just wasn't called SDNs when the investment giant invested in network programmability.

Read More Understanding the differences between Software Defined Networking, network virtualization and Network Functions Virtualization The network team is being bombarded with configuration requests that can take days or weeks to handle, but luckily several approaches are emerging that promise to increase network agility, chief among them Network Virtualization (NV), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and Software Defined Networking (SDN). Read More NEC scales OpenFlow SDNs NEC this week rolled out a new version of its SDN software that includes an OpenFlow-based method for interconnecting data centers. Read More Brocade seeks SDN edge with early OpenFlow 1.3 support Brocade this week announced broad support for OpenFlow 1.3 across its IP product line to extend SDNs beyond research and academia and into commercial and enterprise networks. Read More The erosion of IT's middle class As new technologies continue to emerge in the network, the need for highly skilled IT administration resources will grow just as well. However, the advent of Software Defined Networking (SDN), cloud systems, and orchestration software means many mundane tasks will become automated. If your day is mainly made up of those mundane tasks, then you should be worried about the future of your career. Read... Read More
