The Future of Networking is OpenChanging the industry and encouraging innovation
John WroblewskiEnterprise Technologist - Networking
Powerful disruptors to “networking as usual”
Bandwidth needs continue to grow
Evolving workloads create east-westtraffic jams
Organizations are planning for software-defined networks
Multiple vendors’ chipsetsnow exceed proprietarydesigns
Networking functionalityis increasing in Linux
More devicesmeans more risk
!
Virtualization BYOD , Mobility
Merchant Silicon Virtualization of Networks OpenFlow
Convergence
Then: Compute paradigm shiftThe disaggregated server model changed the landscape
Mainframe model X86 servers model
Proprietary CPUs(e.g., SPARC, PA-RISC, Alpha)
Proprietary OS (e.g., Solaris, HP-UX, Ultrix)
Limited apps
Proprietary architectures & mgmt tools
Application ecosystem
Orchestration/automation for distributed computing
Industry standard (X86 CPU)
Standard OS—hypervisors

• Slow innovation tied to HW cycles
• Locks you in to proprietary hardware-based solution
• Unproven approach
• Requires forklift upgrade of networking infrastructure
• Rapid innovation
• Open & Flexible: can run on any infrastructure
• Proven approach: Web/Cloud providers have been using this & extending to others
• Non-disruptive insertion into data center
Helping customers to: Enter the open networking era with best-of-breed
solutions Simplify network management, orchestration and
automation Leverage open-source, standards-based tools and
expertise
• Speed innovation through standards-based platforms
• Drive a new open ecosystem for all
• Offer best-of-breed solutions backed by global support
• Serve customers’ unique business needs

Enter the open networking era with best-of-breed solutions
Simplify network management, orchestration and automation
Leverage open-source, standards-based tools and expertise
• Closed management stack
• Limited interoperability• Lock-in penalty
New proprietary solutions
• Complex and monolithic
• High cost-per-transaction
• Proprietary to one vendor
Legacy systems• Hardware with no value
added• Technology transition issues• Limited vendor support
Commodity systems
A scalable, end-to-end approach that delivers:
The Optimized Enterprise
• Rapid time to value• Superior ease of use• Unrivaled flexibility to
adapt
