In his keynote presentation at Interop Tokyo 2013, Jonathan Davidson discussed the key infrastructure, automation, and orchestration details you need to consider to avoid the pitfalls that could plague your SDN deployment for years to come.

2. SDN TRAJECTORY
 2009: $0
 0 companies
 OpenFlow interoperability
 Virtualization
 Limited automation
Past
 2016: $3.7B
 225+ companies
 OpenFlow production
 Overlays
 Workflows & orchestration
Future

Your SDN Journey

12. Open, Standards ProgrammableArchitecture
Because
You cannot
afford to rip
and replace
as SDN
“evolves”.
Because
You cannot
afford to
wait for
SDN to
“shake out”.
Because
You cannot
afford to get
“locked-in”.
IF YOU CAN REMEMBER 1 SLIDE, THIS IS IT!

17. ENSURE YOUR SDN SUCCESS
The path to SDN
…build the right architecture
…use open, standards protocols
…flexible, programmable platforms
SDN has the promise to
…improve network agility
…multi-vendor
…reduce opex
