Pervasive compute and communications
driving “tectonic shifts”

4. The Internet of (Every) Things
From simple data gathering to analyzing to
context awareness to pro-active decision making

11. Software Defined Networking
3 Strategic Layers
Orchestration
Automated provisioning, coordination,
management of defined services within the DC
or Telecom Network (e.g. Virtualization)
Controller
Manages network control plane to configure
network devices, choose the optimal network
path for application traffic flows.
Node
In a network, a node is either a Connection
Point (e.g. media gateway), a distribution point
(Top of Rack Switch) or an end point (Cloud Server)
for data transmissions.
