ONUG Offers SDN Suggestions

February 15, 2013 |
BOSTON -- Yesterday at the first Open Networking User Group (ONUG), IT users shared their Software-Defined Networking (SDN) experiences and key requirements to enable the growth of open networking. IT leaders and industry executives identified five recommendations to expedite the deployment of open networking which include interoperability, vendor neutrality, programmable networks with Northbound APIs, offering increased network monitoring and visibility, and a new business model.

“Transformation in the networking industry occurred once before in the 1990s as companies migrated toward TCP/IP and away from proprietary protocols such as SNA and DECnet, and although this transition took a decade it brought the world the Internet,” said Nick Lippis, host of the Open Networking User Group and founder of the Lippis Report. “Though this open networking migration cycle will more than likely proceed similarly, the innovation and disruption have begun, and sophisticated IT leaders are in the driver’s seat trialing and beginning deployments of open SDN solutions today.”
