Transforming Enterprise Data Centers with OpenFlow and Software-Defined Networking
http://necam.com/pflow Data centers everywhere are undergoing dramatic change, thanks to virtualization, cloud computing and the need to manage "big" data. Very often, the networks that support these data centers aren't keeping up with the complexity and scale, pushing the very limits of legacy network architectures and IT Operations. Help is on the way, however, from a radically new model called Software Defined Networking, or SDN. A key path to SDN is the OpenFlow protocol, which uses software to virtualize and program networks, similar to how hypervisors enable server virtualization.
