Connect-World - Connect-World Europe II (2014)

في هذه القضية

The Cloud, Big Data, the Internet of Everything, machine-to-machine traffic, the explosion of multi-media entertainment, mobile traffic and a host of other established and emerging applications are already straining our networks and affecting the quality of service. Best-effort service is increasingly unacceptable, and we are only at the beginning of the era of zettabyte traffic volumes. How can we move ahead? How can we manage explosive data growth? How can we increase quality of service, guarantee security and reliability, invest in new network capacity, cope with competitive cost-cutting and still eke out a profit?

Many analysts and professionals in the sector believe that SDN is the best available answer to these questions. SDN, Software Defined Networking, promises to make the big, fast, networks we need in the zettabyte era faster, cheaper, easier to roll out, to configure and optimise.
