The book gives you the state of the art knowledge needed for successful deployment of an SDN, including: How to explain to the non-technical business decision makers in your organization the potential benefits, as well as the risks, in shifting parts of a network to the SDN model; how to make intelligent decisions about when to integrate SDN technologies in a network; how to decide if your organization should be developing its own SDN applications or looking to acquire these from an outside vendor; how to accelerate the ability to develop your own SDN application, be it entirely novel or a more efficient approach to a long-standing problem. Discusses the evolution of the switch platforms that enable SDN, addresses when to integrate SDN technologies in a network, provides an overview of sample SDN applications relevant to different industries, includes practical examples of how to write SDN applications.
