Software-Defined Networking (SDN) & Network Orchestration
In the digital era, network infrastructure must be more flexible, scalable, and easily manageable. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables centralized network management through software, while Network Orchestration** simplifies network configuration and operations automatically.
📌 SDN & Network Orchestration help organizations eliminate the limitations of traditional networks with higher automation, flexibility, and efficiency.
Without a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) & Network Orchestration solution, organizations face the following challenges:
Complex & Hard-to-Manage Network
Traditional infrastructure requires manual setup, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Lack of Visibility & Centralized Control
Administrators struggle to monitor network traffic, making troubleshooting slower.
Limited Scalability
Traditional networks are difficult to adapt to growing traffic and business expansion.
Weak Security
Manual configurations increase the risk of errors that can be exploited by cyberattacks.
Key Features & Capabilities
SDN & Network Orchestration streamline traffic, improve security, and lower operational costs.
Show Details
a. Centralized Network Management
Network Administration Through One Control Plane: Eliminates manual configuration at each device.
b. Automated Provisioning & Deployment
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Enables automatic configuration across the entire network.
c. Network Visibility & Traffic Optimization
Real-Time Monitoring: Optimizes network performance and identifies anomalies.
d. Dynamic Network Segmentation
Policy-Based Segmentation: Enhances security and reduces the attack surface.
e. Multi-Vendor Compatibility
Supports Various Network Infrastructures: From data centers to multi-cloud environments.
f. API-Driven Network Control
Integration with IT & Security Applications: Through open APIs.
