Preliminary

SDN: Network Agility for Digital Transformation

SDN arose initially to support needs of cloud computing• Addressed virtualization, multitenancy, isolation, and delivered agility and flexibility

Early adopters were hyperscalers and other cloud service providers.• IT is their business, and the datacenter is the heart of the business

Now enterprises face many of the same challenges, and they’re looking to emulate applicable best practices from hyperscalers

• Skills gap presents enterprise challenges

• Solutions must be adapted and packaged accordingly

Primary Enterprise Use Cases for SDN and Network

Virtualization

Business and Operational Agility – automate and accelerate

network provisioning, speed time to value

Security – microsegmentation to provide east-west security in

virtualized datacenter, security analytics

Business continuity/disaster recovery, especially in cloud context

Drivers are increased server virtualization and adoption of 3rd

Platform, especially cloud

The Growing Need for Network Simplicity

Amid disruption and imperatives on

multiple fronts (digital transformation

on the 3rd Platform, cloud, etc.), the

network must change. • Agility and flexibility must come to the network

– there’s no other option

But skills gap means ease of

technology consumption, deployment,

and operation matter more than ever

Conspiracy of complexity – once seen

as beneficial for vendors and their

customers – must end

Essential Guidance

14

Digital Transformation, predicated on the 3rd

Platform, is a critical enterprise imperative

Network transformation, including increased

networking agility, is a key requirement in this

evolution

SDN should be seen as an architectural response

to these new requirements, not as networking for

networking’s sake.

For enterprises, SDN solutions must become less

complex, easier to deploy, simpler to manage
