1 Brochure More information from Software Defined Networking: Solutions, Vendor and Enterprise Strategies, Implementation, and Forecasts Description: The term Software Defined Networking (SDN) has acquired a magic ring to those who deal with networking but are not technical experts. SDN evokes claims of better network performance, increased security and faster time to market for networking services. Is SDN truly a game change in networking? SDN arises from the demands of pervasive cloud computing and changes the way we approach networking. The key concept of SDN is to move control out of the switches into a dedicated server that has a global view of the network state. This breaks fundamentally with existing principles of layer 2 and layer 3 networking where each switch has autonomous control. This research provides an in-depth assessment of the SDN market including business models, operator and vendor strategies and a quantitative assessment of the industry from 2016 to This report includes use cases of real SDN deployments including analysis of benefits and challenges. The report also evaluates SDN strategies and product lines of a wide range of both well-established and new vendors. The report addresses the following key topics: - SDN Technical Brief: A concise but clear account of what exactly defines SDN and how it relates to NFV. - Standards and Open Source: An assessment of the dynamic SDN open source community who does what, and which are the initiatives to watch. - The Case for SDN: What drives enterprises and carriers to deploy SDN? What can they expect from SDN? - Factors Holding Back SDN: What are the drawbacks of SDN? What is holding back SDN deployment? - Service Provider, Vendor and Enterprise Strategies: An assessment of the choices and dilemmas faced by vendors, carriers and enterprises when it comes to developing SDN products and deploying SDN networks. Includes case studies. - The SDN Market: A forecast of how the SDN market will evolve between 2016 and 2020, taking into account global regional differences. - Migration to SDN: Our exclusive step-wise guide to migration to SDN.
