Top 20 SDN Companies - 2018
With the rise of big data and cloud services, the traditional network model is quickly getting replaced by state of the art networking models for effective functioning of businesses. Software- Defined Networking (SDN) is helping organizations to deploy applications and deliver services efficiently by reducing the IT costs and enabling cloud computing. SDN is providing organizations with end-to-end visibility into the network data and enables controllers to monitor traffic while deploying suitable security policies wherever necessary.
SDN converges the management of network and application services into a centralized, extensible orchestration platform that can automate the provisioning and configuration of the entire infrastructure. Organizations are now able to increase resource flexibility and utilization by delivering automated on-demand app delivery, speed, agility, stronger security and faster time to service and innovation. With SDN solutions, organizations can fulfill the demanding needs of today and tomorrow. SDN is truly accelerating the business world by deploying new services at faster web speed and reducing the infrastructure costs.
With this rapid evolution in SDN, it is imperative for all the organizations to understand the dynamics of the market and keep up with the changing business environment. Keeping that in mind, a distinguished panel comprising of CEOs, CIOs and analysts including CIO Review’s editorial board has charted out top 20 companies offering SDN solutions for organizations.
