MAKING NETWORKS AS AGILE
AS ENTERPRISES DEMAND
IN THE CLOUD AGE
THE BIG CHANGE
The Marriage of “IP” & “IT”
Shift in Operational Mindset
Network Services on demand, in support of cloud applications
Any application, any cloud, every time
REALITY OF TODAY’S WORKLOADS
Far Broader footprint
DevOps mindset rules
“Many-where”: Hyper-distributed applications & users
Multi-tenant infrastructure
Far more dynamic
Ephemeral (e.g. containers, docker…)
Multi-site (e.g. DCs & remote locations)
Multi-provider
Hybrid environments
Instantiated on-demand & securely…
THE BIG IDEA
Make networking every bit as instantaneous
and readily consumable as compute
Open: Preserve choice
Boundary-less: Networks, not islands
Policy-Driven: Security & visibility
THE RIGHT “SDN”

A FEDERATED POLICY APPROACH
Learn from Mobile Networks
• Endpoints “roam” at will
• Rules defined once, used often
Learn from the Internet
• Network of Networks
• Capabilities advertised
• Topology discovered
Policy Federation applies same approach, across datacenters & beyond

Secure Sovereign Clouds
“Openstack as a Service”
Expanded hosting offers
Branching out… Network Services for remote locations
SDN BRANCHES OUT…
Status Quo at the Remote Location
Manual provisioning
Costly moves, adds and changes
Complex management
Limited choice
Proprietary, vertically integrated
Evolved Datacenter Infrastructure
Automated
Instantaneous modifications
Simplified policy-driven management
Freedom of choice
Open
WHAT’S POSSIBLE
Taking the datacenter as it stands
Policy-Based Network Auto-instantiation
Agility without losing control & visibility
Virtualizing Networks, not islands
Within & across Datacenters & branch locations
With the option to burst into public clouds
ANY APPLICATION,
ANY CLOUD,
EVERY TIME.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Networks should follow at speed of DevOps & cloud apps
SDN = Abstraction + Automation
(& its principles really can drive more agility & less lock-in)
Policy-driven auto-instantiation
in lieu of device-by-device configuration
(like mobile networks)
Peering without boundaries, inclusive of branches
(like the internet & VPNs)
Benefits must extend across all assets
(virtualized & bare metal, as many of your critical apps require)
