SDN Hype

Cisco Confidential#2Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an approach to building computer networks that separates and abstracts elements of these systems

What is SDN?(per Wikipedia definition)Cisco Confidential#3A platform for developing new control planesAn open solution for VM mobility in the Data-CenterAn open solution for customized flow forwarding control in and between Data CentersA means to do traffic engineering without MPLSA solution to build a very large scale layer-2 networkA way to build my own security/encryption solutionA way to reduce theCAPEX of my networkand leverage commodityswitches

A way to optimize broadcast TV delivery by optimizing cache placement andcache selectionA means to scale my fixed/mobile gateways and optimize their placementA solution to build virtual topologies with optimum multicast forwarding behaviorA way to optimize link utilization in my network enhanced, application driven routingA means to get assuredquality of experience formy cloud service offeringsA way to distribute policy/intent, e.g. for DDoS prevention, in the networkA way to configure my entire network as a whole rather than individual devicesA solution to get a global view of the network topology and stateDevelop solutions at software speeds: I dont want to work with my network vendor or go through lengthy standardization.Common ConceptsDiverse DriversDifferent Execution Paths

PROGRAMMABILITYCisco Confidential#We have sessions on Tuesday covering each aspect of Cisco ONE strategy. The onePK Product manager will present the real world use cases that use onePK device APIs. We will hear the XNC controller team providing data center use cases harnessing XNC. We have a deep dive session on Virtual Overlays. In addition to that we have 5 hands-on lab sessions starting Wednesday each for onePK and XNC

These are the sessions that deep dive in to aspects of Cisco ONE strategy1) Software Architecture for Next-Gen Data Center (90min) Monday 1:45: 2) Cisco onePK in the Data Center: Real World Use Cases (60min) Tuesday 8:00A3) Data Center Use Cases ONE Controller (60min) Tuesday 9:15A4) Virtual Overlay (60min) Tuesday 10:30A5) Controller and OnePK Competitive Aspect (60min)6) XNC Controller lab 5 sessions starting Wednesday7) onePK lab 5 sessions starting Wednesday13A New network Model is certainly RequiredTRADITIONALNETWORK MODELTODAYS SDN DATACENTER MODELFUTURE OPEN MODELNeeds Agility and Time to ApplicationsLacks Scale, Visibility, SecurityMore ComplexityDisjointed Overlay and UnderlayOpen Source, Open APIsPhysical and VirtualPolicy and Automation Software-BasedNetwork VirtualizationApplication CentricInfrastructureNetwork of BoxesCisco Confidential#14Why innovate in hardware too?AdoptionTrue virtualization and abstraction requires hardware innovationServer VirtualizationNetwork VirtualizationIntel/AMD Virtualization SupportACI-Enabled HardwareCisco Confidential#SmartArt custom animation effects: continuous picture list(Basic)
