MAKING NETWORKS AS AGILE

AS ENTERPRISES DEMAND

IN THE CLOUD AGE

THE BIG CHANGE

The Marriage of “IP” & “IT”

Shift in Operational Mindset

Network Services on demand, in support of cloud applications

Any application, any cloud, every time

REALITY OF TODAY’S WORKLOADS

Far Broader footprint

DevOps mindset rules

“Many-where”: Hyper-distributed applications & users

Multi-tenant infrastructure

Far more dynamic

Ephemeral (e.g. containers, docker…)

Multi-site (e.g. DCs & remote locations)

Multi-provider

Hybrid environments

Instantiated on-demand & securely…

THE BIG IDEA

Make networking every bit as instantaneous

and readily consumable as compute

Open: Preserve choice

Boundary-less: Networks, not islands

Policy-Driven: Security & visibility

THE RIGHT “SDN”

A FEDERATED POLICY APPROACH

Learn from Mobile Networks

• Endpoints “roam” at will

• Rules defined once, used often

Learn from the Internet

• Network of Networks

• Capabilities advertised

• Topology discovered

Policy Federation applies same approach, across datacenters & beyond

P2V Migration

Cloud Providers

Secure Sovereign Clouds

“Openstack as a Service”

Expanded hosting offers

Branching out… Network Services for remote locations

SDN BRANCHES OUT…

Status Quo at the Remote Location

Manual provisioning

Costly moves, adds and changes

Complex management

Limited choice

Proprietary, vertically integrated

Evolved Datacenter Infrastructure

Automated

Instantaneous modifications

Simplified policy-driven management

Freedom of choice

Open

WHAT’S POSSIBLE

Taking the datacenter as it stands

Policy-Based Network Auto-instantiation

Agility without losing control & visibility

Virtualizing Networks, not islands

Within & across Datacenters & branch locations

With the option to burst into public clouds

ANY APPLICATION,

ANY CLOUD,

EVERY TIME.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Networks should follow at speed of DevOps & cloud apps

SDN = Abstraction + Automation

(& its principles really can drive more agility & less lock-in)

Policy-driven auto-instantiation

in lieu of device-by-device configuration

(like mobile networks)

Peering without boundaries, inclusive of branches

(like the internet & VPNs)

Benefits must extend across all assets

(virtualized & bare metal, as many of your critical apps require)
