– BROCADE SDN STRATEGY
Adrian Low
Regional Director- Application Delivery Products
and Service Provider Business
25 October, 2012
• Software abstraction layer on top of networking infrastructure
• Decouple Control Plane and Data Forward Plane
• Standardized programmatic interface
• OpenFlow is an example of programmatic interface
• Allows external “controller” to control how IP packets are forwarded by routers and switches
• Key customer benefits:
• Decouple network application innovation from dependency on new router OS releases
• Accelerate automation of network changes to increase service velocity
• Bandwidth Optimization out of DC
• Realization of Multi Tenancy

What is Software-Defined Networking (SDN)?
What if you could …
© 2012 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL— Discussed under NDA 4
Build your next data center
optimized for highest demands
in flexibility, reliability, and
scale
Virtualize your network starting now for greater responsiveness and increased
asset utilization
Create and deliver
customized services and new offerings at the
speed of customer need
Unlock the intelligence from your network for
real-time orchestration and analytics
• Network changes are
difficult, slow, and risky
• Can’t handle rapid swings in
traffic demands
• New services requires
adding expensive specialized
skills
• Unlimited funds needed to
solve issues
