33 Source: Dynamic Markets 2015 – SDN Expectations Research - Sample size: 1,421 across 15 countries Don’t know when Plan to implement SDN in the future 1.Service Configuration 2.Application Performance 3.Network Management Top 3 Expected SDN Solution Categories

4 The SDN Vendor Paradox Vendor Models Promise Dynamism, But with a Burden of Complexity and Incompleteness Vendor-Specific Legacy Network Automation Virtual Compute Legacy Network Overlay Multiple protocols Multiple tiers Multiple resiliency models Manual core configuration Manual network attach Every network is customized Data Center Scope

5 True Core Automation Fabric Connect Automates Network Functions The Fabric Automation Network Network-wide scope Single tier Single protocol Single resiliency model Automated core configuration Automated attach Automated extension Vendor-Specific Legacy Network Automation Virtual Compute Legacy Network Overlay

6 Introducing SDN Fx A Fabric-Based SDN Model for Simplicity Everywhere Automated network functions with a single network-wide Ethernet Fabric. Open source customization tools married with standard Fabric protocols User, device, and application integration beyond the data center to the user edge Three Tenets of the SDN Fx Architecture

7 True Core Automation Automated Core with Fabric Connect 11x FASTER Implementation Time 7x FASTER Troubleshooting Time 7x FASTER Configuration Time 2,553x FASTER Failover Time 100% IMPROVEMENT Outages Due to Human Error Core automatically configures isolated paths for: -New services -New applications -Security segmentation -Multi-tenants -QoS discrimination One Active-Active resiliency model SDN functions simply delegates to fabric Sources: Dynamic Markets 2015 – Customer Experience Research
