Software-defined networking (SDN) enables holistic network management, and intelligent use of network resources, both physical and virtual. Explore a vendor neutral overview of SDN and how it works.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Recognize the need for software defined networking
    Describe how software defined networking works and the problems that it solves
    Describe the relationship between network function virtualization and software defined networking
    Describe software defined storage and autotiering
    Describe how virtualization, software defined networking, and software defined storage combine into a software defined data center
    Recognize the major use cases for software defined networking and the benefits that it brings
    Describe the components and architecture of a software defined networking system
    Recognize the data, control, and management planes, and how they are separated in software defined networking
    Describe how software defined networking enables centralized command and control, and the benefits this brings
  • Define data flow in the data center, recognize east-west and north-south data flow, and describe how software defined networking can manage flow when a problem presents
    Describe the northbound and southbound interfaces of an sdn controller, and how these differ from north-south data flow
    Describe the current state of the software defined market
    Recognize the main open source software defined networking products
    List the certifications available for software defined networking professionals
    Describe the decision process when choosing a software defined networking solution
    Describe the impact of software defined networking on job roles in network administration and management
