2. 7 MYTHS OF SDN
Myth: Myth: Myth: Myth: Myth: Myth: Myth:
It’s only about It’s only about It’s only It’s only about It’s only It’s going It’s going to
datacenter reducing about centralization about to happen take forever
networking CAPEX software OpenFlow immediately
Truth: Truth: Truth: Truth: Truth: Truth: Truth:
It applies to Opex It will fuel Considerable OpenFlow is It will happen We will begin
all networking reduction hardware intelligence just a protocol step-by-step to see the
and is more innovation stays and probably impact in
networking significant decentralized not the most 2013
services important one
for SDN

3. NETWORKING
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Configuration Features Software Packaging Reliability
Overly complex, Slow to respond Too hard to Inflexible, Below
manual, to business deploy difficult to scale expectations
operationally requests
expensive.

4. WHY DO WE NEED SDN?
Static Networks Manual Policies Monolithic Network Essential
Services Applications
Must respond Must be automated to Must dynamically scale Must be developed
dynamically based on reduce personnel cost independent of within the network to
Business Policy network devices deliver business
results

5. SDN PRINCIPLES
Separate Centralize Use the cloud Common Standard Broadly apply
networking Mgmt, Services for elastic scale Platform for protocols for to Network &
software into and Control and flexible network and interoperability Network
4 layers – layers deployment Security across vendors Security
