Moving the Enterprise Campus to the Cloud - Juniper Networks As businesses move to the cloud to solve their data management and access problems, they see a critical need for solutions that can help them bridge the gap between their existing environment and their vision of a more agile and flexible network. In today’s enterprise campus, the majority of networks are manual systems comprising layers of switches, VLANs, and security products, each adding operational complexity. Because these layers must be administered manually, they introduce the potential for human errors that can disrupt services and open security gaps. These challenges are prompting a growing number of enterprises to adopt cloud technologies as their primary operating model. Enter Juniper Unite - a simple and secure cloud-enabled infrastructure that supports a diverse set of devices, applications, people, and things. Simplified infrastructure that is scalable and resilient to keep up with the demands of users and cloud applications.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Definition - Open Networking Foundation What is SDN? The physical separation of the network control plane from the forwarding plane, and where a control plane controls several devices. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture that is dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable, making it ideal for the high-bandwidth, dynamic nature of today's applications. This architecture decouples the network control and forwarding functions enabling the network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services. Computing Trends are Driving Network Change SDN addresses the fact that the static architecture of conventional networks is ill-suited to the dynamic computing and storage needs of today’s data centers, campuses, and carrier environments. In trying to meet the networking requirements posed by evolving computing trends, network designers find themselves constrained by the limitations of current networks: Become an ONF Member →

Software Defined Networking (SDN) Expand Your Digital Possibilities Cisco ACI and Cisco Intercloud combine to scale IT and meet your changing business needs. (1:18 min) See How Harness Data Center Dynamics IDC explores SDN business value, data center security, and IT realignment. Read Report Embrace Digital Transformation Lead innovation from within using Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure. Learn More Transformation Through Innovation Software Defined Networking (SDN) is enabling organizations to accelerate application deployment and delivery, dramatically reducing IT costs through policy-enabled workflow automation. SDN accomplishes these business objectives by converging the management of network and application services into centralized, extensible orchestration platforms that can automate the provisioning and configuration of the entire infrastructure. SDN delivers speed and agility when deploying new applications and business services. Enterprises, Are You Looking to Control Expenses While Innovating?
SDN Test Suite – Methodology | SDN Hub SDN Test Suite – Methodology Typical SDN-based Network Virtualization The architecture rolled out can be one of the following: Pure-overlay: Programmable virtual dataplane elements (vDP) are inserted into edge servers and controlled by the controller cluster. Pure-underlay: SDN-enabled top-of-rack or leaf physical switches are deployed and controlled by the controller cluster. Testing these solutions irrespective of the architectural choice makes it essential to adopt a black-box testing methodology that integrates leverages components from the computing world and the networking world. Classes of Tests For testing Network Virtualization, we divided our tests into four main categories: Functionality tests: Essentially these test the claimed (and unclaimed) features of the network-virtualization solution, including the following. Setup for functionality and data plane tests using bare-metal servers Setup for control plane tests Test Suite Design and Architecture Challenges Resources

Software Defined Networking - Princeton University | Coursera About the Course This course introduces software defined networking, an emerging paradigm in computer networking that allows a logically centralized software program to control the behavior of an entire network. Separating a network's control logic from the underlying physical routers and switches that forward traffic allows network operators to write high-level control programs that specify the behavior of an entire network, in contrast to conventional networks, whereby network operators must codify functionality in terms of low-level device configuration. Logically centralized network control makes it possible for operators to specify more complex tasks that involve integrating many disjoint network functions (e.g., security, resource control, prioritization) into a single control framework, allowing network operators to create more sophisticated policies, and making network configurations easier to configure, manage, troubleshoot, and debug.
