Download the report: SDN Growth Takes IT Infrastructure by Storm

IT industry experts certainly agree that software defined networking is a growing sector, yet they just as readily note that SDN is in its infancy. This emerging technology offers considerable advantages yet also faces significant challenges. In this video roundtable, SDN thought leaders will discuss issues such as the changes required to leverage SDN in an existing datacenter, including what expertise is needed. We’ll talk SDN and security, and we’ll go in-depth about costs vs. benefits. We’ll survey the vendors and technologies – spotlighting NFV (network function virtualization). And we’ll look at the future of software defined networking in the enterprise. Please join us for what promises to be a lively discussion.
