| | NOVEMBER 20206CIOReviewThe benefits presented by SDN solutions such as centralized management, improved automation, increased network reliability & security, and enhanced user experience are some of the primary factors promoting the use of SDN solutions among enterprises. However, given the lack of familiarity with SDN technologies and their deployment, it's surprising that most organizations, whilst interested in SDN and experimenting with SDN in their test labs, are not yet rolling out to production.To deploy SDN, there are several pre-requisite changes, both technical and organizational. The most fundamental and problematic changes involve the need for interdisciplinary teams, as boundaries between business drivers, applications teams, server teams, and network teams become blurred. Most organizations are keen to learn about SDN but are not yet ready to deploy in production. Many are experimenting with various SDN technologies to try to assess which vendor's solution is best from them, be it Cisco's ACI, VMware's NSX/Juniper Contrail or an open solution such as OpenFlow, which avoids vendor lock-in, offers the best chance of API standardization and therefore should provide a wider range of orchestration application options, but without enterprise-grade support. That's why CIOReview has compiled a list of SDN companies that might be able to help you and your organization. This edition also offers a combination of thought leadership from subject matter experts and exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the best organization according to your requirements.Let us know your thoughts!EditorialMeet the Demands of an Evolving, Cloud-driven MarketCIOReviewContact Us:Phone:510-230-0395Fax:510-894-8405Email:sales@cioreview.comeditor@cioreview.commarketing@cioreview.com November 05, 2020, Vol 09, Issue - 84 (ISSN 2644-237X) Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.To subscribe to CIOReviewVisit www.cioreview.com CIOReviewEditorial StaffAaron PierceCarolynn WaltersDean WinchesterJune Williams Shirley FaithRussell ThomasVisualizersIssac GeorgeJohn GothamJustin Smith Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comManaging EditorJustin SmithSalesStephen Thomasstephen.thomas@cioreview.com Copyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
