Future of Networking : Software Defined Networking (SDN)

There have been a lot of innovations in the virtualization domain which has benefited compute and storage. However those benefits are constrained due to limitations in the traditional network model. It is becoming increasingly difficult task to manage infrastructure which needs rapid network provisioning and also can be a time consuming.

Getting Started with Network Function Virtualization (NFV)

First question that comes to mind is whether SDN and NFV are same or different or related technologies? SDN and NFV are independent technologies. SDN creates a separate management plane which sits a floor above the traditional control plane so as to get wider view of the network and orchestrate using network protocols like OpenFlow. So, with the SDN approach
