As a result, instead of purpose-filled network functions, IT departments can uniformly deliver services in a more abstracted manner anywhere on the infrastructure. Network Automation For network automation, traditionally when you stand up a server (like a virtual machine) you allocate the CPU, memory and storage resources, but then you also have to involve the security team and put the firewall rules into place. You have to engage the network team and define the virtual local area network (VLAN) required for the virtual machine.
But SDN combines all of that via automation, from building the virtual machine to what VLAN it has to be on, which security parameters it requires and its connection to that virtual Ghana Email List machine for user access, along with communication between servers within the data center. When the server is built, whether it’s in production or development, all the relevant network and security parameters are also automated. It eases the burden to configure all required parameters for this virtual machine to be operationally accessible. of the intelligent software that drives the SDN infrastructure is programmability. We’re interacting with the network in a much more programmatic fashion.
This lets us make infrastructure changes that properly reflect the state, the requirements of the networks, and what they need from the network. SDN products provide programmability through open REST APIs (a common set of functions allowing moves, adds and changes via HTTP protocols). These APIs allow for two enhancements. First, SDN functions can be scripted to accelerate workload deployment. Second, the openness of the APIs allows for tight integration with other related programs, whether they come from the same vendor or a third-party vendor enhancing the solution. This provides a new level of powerful capabilities, enabling a multi-vendor solution.
