There is tremendous excitement in networking today around Software-Defined Networks, or SDN. It’s tempting to write it off as hype, but that’s dangerous because SDN is just beginning to emerge and has the potential to completely change the networking landscape. The reason for the excitement is that the improvements promised by SDN create real value to customers, which is always the difference between hype and real revolution.
The Brocade software-based networking and security solution is complementary to emerging SDN architectures, and in fact provides a way to ensure a smooth transition from today’s networks to the flexible, agile SDN networks of the future.
