• Compute set-up is automated
• VM available in minutes
• Network is complex, manual
• Configuration can take days/weeks
• Services like load-balancers, firewalls can be the most tedious, error-prone

“The overlay network market currently has three dominating vendors (Nuage Networks, Cisco &VMware) with a number of smaller tertiary vendors or startups…”
- Georg Fritsch
- Gartner clients can access report or enquire with Gartner representatives Nuage Networks does not own sharing or posting rights to this analysis. research note
Dell & Nuage momentum: The industry takes notice
“Dell has emerged as a top four player in the data center networking space measured by port shipments. It has also been the most-innovative and most-disruptive mainstream data center networking vendor in the market over the past 12 months.”
Gartner “Vendor Rating: Dell” April 2015

• Networks should follow at speed of cloud apps
• SDN = abstraction + automation • (& its principles really can drive more agility & less lock-in)
• Policy-driven auto-instantiation in lieu of device-by-device configuration
• (like mobile networks)
• Peering without boundaries, inclusive of branches • (like the internet & VPNs)
• Benefits must extend across all assets • (virtualized & bare metal, as many of your critical apps require)
Key takeaways
