Disruptor’s Dilemma
9
Disaggregate to Catalyze Innovationà Value proposition of open networking and SDN
Integrate to Facilitate Adoptionà Requirement for operational deployment
Our goal is to sustain the innovate/deploy/operate cycleà Build extensible/evolvable systems (not just modular point solutions)à Democratize the operationalization of disaggregated components
