Open Networking Summit North America 2018

SDN is strict with its user. Traditional technology aligned organization structures are ineffective at supporting the dynamics of an SDN approach of enabling a digital business. Organizations are going to have layered abstractions as same as network since fine-grained closed control loop is the key to solve the complexity, ineffectiveness and fragility. SDN is really the way implementing IBN and you have to re-organize to fit new SDN/IBN decoupling. Are you a qualified user of SDN? Aligning organization and network’s abstraction layers provides great dividends and maximizes the value of SDN. However, few of network users have a clue where to start with organization abstraction. We are going to share the first-hand experience gained from Fortune 500 companies in China and the opportunities to build an ecosystem.
