Powerful disruptors to “networking as usual”
Bandwidth needs continue to grow
Evolving workloads create east-westtraffic jams
Organizations are planning for software-defined data centers
Multiple vendors’ chipsetsnow exceed proprietarydesigns
Networking functionalityis increasing in Linux
More devicesmeans more risk

Why change the status quo?
Networking is the Achilles' Heel
Customers are looking for• Open API’s and automation for
innovation & agility
• Networking independent of HW, location & topology for flexibility
• Disaggregation of hardware and software for lower CAPEX
• Simplified IT for lower OPEX
Shared & virtualized infrastructure
Attribute Servers Networking
Provisioning time Minutes Days / weeks
Cost Cost-effective Expensive
Open & Choice Yes Not really
Management Easy /simple Complex / hard
HW abstraction Yes (e.g. VMware ESX) None / primitive
