Course Overview

Top

Due to the multi-vendor nature of networking, it can be difficult to see how to apply Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in your environment. Do you need to buy anything? Can you implement SDN yourself? Do you need to hire someone? Are you locked into a specific vendor? What options are there in choosing a vendor or implementing a multi-vendor solution? Through an analysis of the SDN landscape, you will gain the confidence to begin building your SDN design and migration strategy.
