Achieving the Benefits of Open Networking in the Data Center
Open networking offers the ability to break free of vendor lock-in and achieve white box economics. SDN promises automation, reduced OpEx and increased agility. However, the open networking and SDN landscape can be confusing and migrating away from legacy infrastructure can seem fraught with peril. Is the journey worth it?

- What are the benefits of open networking and SDN in the data center?
- How can I safely migrate to a disaggregated white box architecture when I have incumbent vendors deployed throughout my network?
- How do I deploy SDN in my data center and do I need a full hardware refresh to do it?
