One of the best examples of software defined networking (SDN) in action is in the cloud. When organizations use compute and storage resources from Amazon, Google and Microsoft clouds they don’t get to go into those data centers and configure…

Invisible Networking – The Missing Piece of the Hybrid Cloud Puzzle – Big Switch Networks Briefing Note
The majority of IT organizations today are contending with a fragmented mixture of on and off-premises infrastructure resources. This multi-cloud reality creates management complexity, and as a result, demands a “hybrid cloud” approach that provides integration, automated and single-pane-of-glass management,…

Why SDN Should be Part of Your Cloud Strategy
Organizations are incorporating public cloud resources into their deployment strategies. The organization may have a cloud-first initiative, or it may use the cloud as determined by the workload but the reality is that an overwhelming number of organizations deploy in…

Why Does the Network Team Want SDN?
The network team has a lot invested in traditional networking and may resist the move to a software-defined network (SDN), but given the pace of growth and expansion of the data center, they may not have an option. The network…

Why Do Storage and vAdmin Teams Want SDN?
While it should seem like someone else’s concern, no other group within IT should want software-defined networking (SDN) more than the storage administration and virtualization vAdmin groups. SDN’s promise to all the storage and vAdmin teams is to perform their…

What is Software Defined Networking?
Like other software defined initiatives, software defined networking (SDN) abstracts the networking operating environment from the hardware switches and controller. The SDN promise is to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency by managing a set of physical top of rack…

SlideShare: How Software-Defined Networking Can Simplify Scale-Out HCI
Hyperconverged Infrastructures (HCI) offer management simplicity and provisioning agility to data centers undergoing digital transformation. When applications need more compute or storage resources, IT can “simply add a node” to an existing HCI cluster. But as the HCI environment scales…

3 Reasons Why Networking Breaks HCI Scalability
One of the most appealing aspects of hyperconverged Infrastructures is their ability to scale. When IT needs more compute or storage resources to keep up with their rapidly growing enterprise, they are told to “just add a node”. There is…

Can Software Defined Networking Bring Scale to HCI? – Big Switch HCI Briefing Note
Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) is one of those technologies that look great on the whiteboard. The idea of collapsing the compute, storage and networking tiers into one, and creating an infrastructure that automatically scales as each node is added to the…
