Software-defined Networking (SDN): Market Opportunities and Challenges

 

NEW YORK, March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Software-defined Networking (SDN): Market Opportunities and Challenges
http://www.reportlinker.com/p01119426/Software-defined-Networking-SDN-Market-Opportunities-and-Challenges.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Network_Equipment

Overview:

An approach to building computer networks that separates and abstracts elements of these systems, Software Defined Networking (SDN) allows system administrators to rapidly provision network connections in mechanized fashion rather than manually configuring.

In software architecture terms, SDN requires some method for the Control Plane to communicate with the Data Plane. One such mechanism is OpenFlow which is a standard interface for controlling computer networking switches.

This report evaluates SDN, OpenFlow, and other related tools, procedures and mechanisms. It includes analysis of SDN versus other approaches, the impacts on existing vendors, and the future market potential for various approaches.

Report Benefits:

Identify the current benefits of SDN and its anticipated future
Understand vendor solutions, comparative analysis, and benefits
Identify the future of the SDN market including how it will evolve over the next five years
Understand major vendors threats with respect to SDN and how they must adjust their plans

Target Audience:
Telecom companies
Software developers
Major ICT companies
IT support companies
Integration companies
Application developers
