Transforming Communications Networks
0 likes625 views
The document discusses disruptive changes in communications networks driven by the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, and the evolution of services. These "tectonic shifts" are transforming networks and driving the transition to software defined networking (SDN). SDN uses virtualization and network functions to abstract the network, enabling faster innovation, lower costs, and more flexible, software-based control of network resources. The changes present both challenges and opportunities for network operators and providers to reinvent their networks.

- 11. Software Defined Networking 3 Strategic Layers Orchestration Automated provisioning, coordination, management of defined services within the DC or Telecom Network (e.g. Virtualization) Controller Manages network control plane to configure network devices, choose the optimal network path for application traffic flows. Node In a network, a node is either a Connection Point (e.g. media gateway), a distribution point (Top of Rack Switch) or an end point (Cloud Server) for data transmissions. *Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others
