SDN is also taking a new shift as part of an intent-based networking ecosystem where the technology plays an important role in the overall architecture to enable real-time networking decisions (reactive and/or proactive) to support scalability, availability, and elasticity and self-protected infrastructure. According to a study by Global Market Insights, the global SDN market is estimated to grow by 54 percent by 2024.By simplifying the use of networking products and services, SDN gives users the option to pay per use. This leads to significant cost savings and as well as boost in productivity which will in turn enable companies to invest money and time into core business. SDN also allows companies to reuse their overall network resources and save more money. Along with this, the technology is fundamentally reshaping networking toward a more open ecosystem as it allows numerous companies to participate in the creation of new networking applications and services. In the future, SDN is predicted to evolve towards a strong combination of hardware and software to boost network and application performance. The next generation network will be built upon the mutually reinforcing software and hardware.
