IRVING, Texs -- NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and integrator of advanced communication and IT solutions, has released its next generation OpenFlow solution, ProgrammableFlow 2.0 Product Suite. With this latest release, the ProgrammableFlow Controller (PFC) gives organizations the ability to design, deploy, monitor and manage secure, multitenant networks from a single point of control.

ProgrammableFlow 2.0 builds upon the OpenFlow 1.0 standard to provide more control of network resources, while maintaining interoperability with other OpenFlow compliant equipment. With NEC’s multitenant network virtualization technology, organizations can now programmatically manage the way traffic flows across the network, optimizing use of existing network resources and the appliances, servers, and storage connecting to the network, leading to service agility and higher staff productivity.

“This release of the ProgrammableFlow 2.0 extends NEC’s lead in software defined networking,” said Don Clark, Director of Business Development, IT Platform Technologies, NEC Corporation of America. “Deployed as data center fabric or as a virtualization layer for network services, ProgrammableFlow version 2.0’s automation and ease of use allows customers to quickly deploy and gain the benefits of a software defined network.”
