As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) look at making investmements in SDN and NFV, a good SDN architecture is essential to maximizing the benefits of your NFV investments. This webinar explores how SDN-enabled open intelligent switching needs to interwork with NFV for achieving agile service delivery and scalability towards monetizing digital services.

More services, more connections, more devices
◦ More people doing more things, not just more people
More network complexity to manage those streams
◦ Virtualized environment
◦ Load balancing demands
FlowEngine key part of network management infrastructure
◦ SDN, NFV and Security
◦ Service Function Chaining, with scalable load balancing
Security is key
◦ FlowEngine supports Network TAP
◦ Offload for IPSec, ACL and Lawful Intercept
Network Virtualization is not the question – how you optimize,
manage and monetize the virtualized network is the critical
success factor
