Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away called Networking, network devices and network engineers ruled the land \u2014 that is until the programmers came and took control of things. And over the recent years, the galaxy expanded as new empires came and went.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Today, traditions have most certainly changed and over the recent years, the world saw big data centres switch to new systems such <\/span>as Software Defined Networking or SDN<\/span><\/a>. And with experts predicting significant growth in the field by the year 2022, it’s pretty obvious that it won’t be going away soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But how does software defined networking work and what are <\/span>the benefits of Cisco ACI<\/span>? Today, Lumos Consulting will be breaking down the new network approach and what makes it so popular for enterprise networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Generally speaking, Software Defined Networking is not a new technology. It’s an approach to network management that enables dynamic, programmatically efficient network configuration in order to improve network performance and monitoring making it more like cloud computing than traditional network management.<\/span><\/p>\n It simplifies complex technologies and makes it much easier for service providers to improve the mobility, scalability and overall resilience of their network. SDN will allow them to direct traffic from a centralised control plane to wherever they need it to be!<\/span><\/p>\nWhat SDN Is<\/b><\/h2>\n
