Software Defined Networking
Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach to building computer networks that separates and abstracts elements of these systems. SDN allows system administrators to quickly provision network connections on the fly instead of manually configuring policies.
SDN simplify IT networks by separating the Control Plane (the intelligence) from the Data Plane (the packet forwarding engine). "Instead of having intelligence distributed across the network in separate boxes, SDN centralizes the Control plane in an overriding software layer which disseminates instructions to each router or switch," the report states.
Thanks to its affordability, SDN is expected to grow from just under $360 million in 2013 to $3.7 billion in 2016, according to IDC.
