SDN OpenFlow
SDN OpenFlow training course covers Software-defined networking (SDN) as an approach to networking where the control is decoupled from hardware and given to a software application called a controller supporting a switching fabric across multi-vendor hardware and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). SDN OpenFlow training also covers Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) which is used for service providers. NFV will eventually transform the way the network operators architect their networks. NFV will be evolved as a standard IT virtualization technology to consolidate many network equipment into high performance, high volume servers, switches and storage, which could be in Data Centers, Network Nodes and in the end user premises.
