Is Storage the Killer App for Software-Defined Networking?

April 15, 2014 By Stephen 2 Comments

Software Defined Networking (SDN) has always looked a bit like a solution in search of a problem, at least in the enterprise data center. But there are lots of potential applications that need a dynamic and scalable network.

Software-Defined Data Center Symposium, April 22 in Santa Clara, CA

March 21, 2014 By Stephen 1 Comment

I've written and spoken quite a bit on the "software-defined" future, what it means and how it will come about. Although it seems like a marketing buzzword to some, I feel it is a fairly accurate description of the future of the enterprise and service provider data center.

I was pre-briefed on their product (back when they were known as Convergent.io) and spent some time with … [Read more...] about Wherein I Weigh In On Object Storage, SDN, And Commoditization (and Coho Data!)

How Does OpenFlow Impact The Daily Life Of Networkers?

May 16, 2013 By Stephen 1 Comment

Interop is the last of a proud breed: A truly vendor-independent trade show with some fantastic technical presentations to boot. And Interop Las Vegas is the biggest Interop show. So I was pleased to be able to bring Tech Field Day to Interop for the first time, including technical roundtable discussions with Spirent, Juniper Networks, and NEC. But what I'd really like … [Read more...] about How Does OpenFlow Impact The Daily Life Of Networkers?
