Title: A REAL SDN Ecosystem

A REAL SDN Ecosystem

By Jacob Rapp, HP Networking Global Marketing Leader, HP Networking

 

With Cisco?s recent announcement?or rather re-launch?.of their DevNet developer ecosystem, it got me thinking of what a ?real? SDN ecosystem should look like.

If at first you don?t succeed, call it DevNet ? Cisco is putting ?lipstick on a pig.? The Register remarks, ?Cisco has picked up a lipstick-gloss in one hand and a pig in the other by re-launching its developer program to have another shot at attracting third party coders to its platforms.? Cisco DevNet isn?t new; the only difference from 2009 to 2014 is REST-based APIs and a Cisco-only sandbox.
