Perfection misdirection:  SDN is still open and ACI is still closed

By Sarwar Raza, Director for Cloud and SDN, Advanced Technology Group, HP Networking

 

Knock knock! ? Who?s there? ? Usurped! ? Usurped who? ? Usurped SDN!

 

That?s a bad joke, I admit.  But so is the recent hijacking of Software Defined Networking (SDN), the best chance of open standards adoption that networking has seen in a long time.  Software?s been coming at enterprise management for a while.  Some, like HP, saw the opportunity.  Our Virtual Applications Network is proof.  Some, like Cisco, saw it as a threat.
