A Visual Guide to Understanding Software Defined Networks and
Network Function Virtualization The simple, visual, at-a-glance
guide to SDN and NFV: Core concepts, business drivers, key
technologies, and more! SDN (Software Defined Networks) and NFV
(Network Function Virtualization) are today's hottest areas of
networking. Many executives, investors, sales professionals, and
marketers need a solid working understanding of these technologies,
but most books on the subject are written specifically for network
engineers and other technical experts. SDN and NFV Simplified fills
that gap, offering highly visual, "at-a-glance" explanations of
SDN, NFV, and their underlying virtualizations. Built around an
illustrated, story-telling approach, this answers the questions:
Why does this technology matter? How does it work? Where is it
used? What problems does it solve? Through easy, whiteboard-style
infographics, you'll learn: how virtualization enables SDN and NFV;
how datacenters are virtualized through clouds; how networks can
also be virtualized; and how to maximize security, visibility, and
Quality of Experience in tomorrow's fully-virtualized environments.
Step by step, you'll discover why SDN and NFV technologies are
completely redefining both enterprise and carrier networks, and
driving the most dramatic technology migration since IP networking.
That's not all: You'll learn all you need to help lead this
transformation. Learn how virtualization establishes the foundation
for SDN and NFV Review the benefits of VMs, the role of
hypervisors, and the management of virtual resources Discover how
cloud technologies enable datacenter virtualization Understand the
roles of networking gear in virtualized datacenters See VMWare
VMotion and VXLAN at work in the virtualized datacenter Understand
multitenancy and the challenges of "communal living" Learn how core
network functions and appliances can be virtualized Ensure
performance and scalability in virtualized networks Compare modern
approaches to network virtualization, including OpenFlow, VMWare
Nicera, Cisco Inseieme, and OpenStack Walk through the business
case for SDN, NFV, and the Cloud Discover how the Software Defined
Network (SDN) solves problems previously left unaddressed
Understand SDN controllers-and who's fighting to control your
network Use SDN and NFV to improve integration and say goodbye to
"truck rolls" Enforce security, avoid data leakage, and protect
assets through encryption Provide for effective monitoring and
consistent Quality of Experience (QoE) Learn how SDN and NFV will
affect you-and what's next
