At the Alcatel-Lucent Tech Symposium in November 2013: Sunil Khandekar, CEO, Nuage Networks presented "SDN: Innovating for Growth with Nuage Networks." Nuage Networks launched itself into the market in April 2013. What’s happened since then? How are the trials progressing? How are people using software defined network technology and how fast will we see take up in the industry?
