GTRI Offers Software Defined Networking (SDN) Webinar Series
From a technical standpoint, Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new approach to data center networking that separates the control plane from the data (forwarding) plane to support virtualization. Using a centralized console, network administrators can “shape” network traffic without having to reconfigure individual devices, giving them more flexibility and agility to respond to current […]
Can SDN Switches Replace the Firewall?
One of my 2015 technology predictions was that more companies would start to deploy Software Defined Networking (SDN). Although the concept originated in the mid-1990s, SDN is finding an eager audience today as organizations seek a more dynamic, adaptable and cost-effective solution for their intensive data transfer requirements.
Identifying Vulnerabilities in Software Defined Networking (SDN) Layers
