Abstract :
In its formative stages, SDN was popular in research and venture capital communities. However as organisations tackle issues such as complexity, automation and time to market, the industry has become involved in this transition. SDN potentially addresses some of these challenges at the same time as exposing new options for cloud, predictive analytics and the Internet of Everything. This presentation provides an industry perspective of the drivers, status and potential of SDN and the promise of infrastructure virtualisation and programmability.
