Grid networking puts you in control

The promise of pervasive connectivity is tremendously appealing—until you have to deliver on it. Traditional switches and routers weren’t designed to accommodate the unique attributes of your distributed infrastructure and your network, or the levels of services, types of content and the user base that your organization supports.

No doubt, you’ve implemented or considered Layer 4 to 7 switches, load balancers, DPIs, firewalls and security gateways. Perhaps you have relied on customized application-based traffic control logic.

But who or what is tying all these hardware and software components together? A patchwork of solutions makes it incredibly difficult to build efficient cloud services; even the best staffed IT teams are hard-pressed to keep pace with the incessant configuration updates.

What if you had a simple, hardware-agnostic mechanism to holistically control the path of each session throughout your network? Let’s think outside the box here: what if it was possible to implement a distributed software-defined networking (SDN) fabric that has global knowledge of policies and the network environment?
