Programmable Virtual Network Platform: Introduction
- A programmable network manages the nature and flow control of network devices by software that runs independently of the network hardware. A truly programmable network enables network engineers to reprogram the network infrastructure without having to rebuild it manually.
- Programmable networks offer several advantages over traditional networks, such as reduced long-term costs, the ability of applications to store information about device functions, improved operational flexibility and visibility, support for new data protection and security technologies
- Virtual networks enable communication among several computers, virtual servers, virtual machines (VMs), or other devices in different offices and data centers. Virtual networks enables devices in numerous sites to function with the same functions as a traditional physical network.
- The thorny and daunting path in implementing new solutions at the core of present-day computer networks culminates in a low rate of innovation. The programmable virtual network platform helps to reverse this rate.
- Programmable virtual network platform combines SDN and NV concepts to enable rapid and secure implementation of innovations in the existing network infrastructure.
- The programmable virtual network platform encourages end-users to develop and share novel network solutions, fostering innovation and enabling demonstrating virtual network infrastructure provisioning and programming
