The document discusses SDN market trends based on an SDxCentral report. It summarizes that the SDN, NFV, and network virtualization market is expected to exceed $105 billion by 2020 according to the report. It also provides details on SDN controllers, including major open source and commercial controllers. The rest of the document discusses use cases, selection criteria for controllers, and SDN adoption trends seen by the speaker.

1. SDN Industry Perspective
OpenContrail Meetup – August 2015
Scott Sneddon
Senior Director, SDN and Virtualization - Juniper Networks
@ssneddon

2. SDN Market Progress
• SDxCentral 2015 SDN and NFV Market Size and Forcast Report
• “The adoption of software-defined networking (SDN), network function
virtualization (NFV), network virtualization (NV), and white box (gray box and
brite box) initiatives has dramatically changed the networking landscape
over the past few years.”
• “Our updated model predicts the combined revenue of SDN, NFV and other
next-generation networking initiatives (SDx Networking) will exceed $105B
per annum by 2020.”

6. Commercial SDN Controllers
ODL-based ODL-Friendly* Non-ODL Based
Avaya Cyan (acquired by Ciena) Big Switch
Brocade HP Juniper
Ciena NEC Plexxi
Cisco (also ships non-ODL
controller)
Nuage Networks PLUMgrid
ConteXtream (HP) Pluribus
Coriant Sonus
Ericsson VMware NSX
Extreme
Huawei (also ships non-ODL
controller)
IBM (sold as part of their cloud
services)
Inocybe
Source: SDxCentral SDN Controllers Report 2015* Actively participate and contribute to ODL but only ship their own non-ODL based controllers

7. Core Controller Capabilities
• Rich Southbound Support (OpenFlow, etc.)
• Extensible API Support
• Programmability
• Centralized Monitoring and Visualization
• High Performance
• Reliability and scalability
• Security

8. Core Use Cases
• Network Access Control
• Network Virtualization
• Virtual Customer Edge
• Dynamic Interconnects
• Virtual Core and Aggregation
• Data Center Optimization

9. The Future of SDN Controllers
• Controllers could essentially become the network operating system
• Controllers end up being single function solutions
• Controllers are subsumed into a cloud orchestration platform
• Controllers are reduced to policy-renderers

10. Use Cases – Scott’s view
• Virtual Private Cloud
• Multi-Cloud (Hybrid)
• NFV and Service Chaining
• vCPE
• Docker/Kubernetes

11. Where have we seen deployments?
• Cloud Service Provider
• Banking and Financials
• Enterprise Private Cloud
• Service Provider/NFV

12. A few trends…
• We’ve largely moved away from “SDN = OpenFlow”
• Data Center Network Virtualization is still the leader
• vCPE and “over the top” Branch Office use cases are getting press
• SD-WAN is of interest
• The Containers/Docker/Kubernetes buzz is real

13. Barriers to adoption
• “Do I really need this?”
• SP/NFV projects are slow, but steadily moving
• Customers fear lock in
• Vendor solutions, but also Open (but not standardized) API’s
• OpenStack expertise is still lacking

14. Importance of Open Source
• Everybody wants “Open”
• Open Standards/Protocols
• IEEE, IETF, ETSI are still important
• Open Source projects becoming a new “de-facto” standard
• Open Source
• Even if they do not have the capacity to contribute to a project

15. What do customers want?
• Software Defined everything
• It’s not always about SDN
• Sometimes a good automation and management strategy is all you need
• An “Uber Controller”
• Controller of Controllers
• See above
• Turnkey Solutions…
