IISO10 - Implementing Software Defined Networks by orchestrating with OpenStack and Integrating with Cisco UCS Director v1.0

Overview

Duration: 5 days

Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), is changing the entire networking ecosystem. Virtualization is an innovation wave that cannot be ignored. The value proposition is too compelling for anyone operating a network (Enterprises and Service Providers) to ignore. All participants in this ecosystem must adapt, or they’ll be left behind. SDN empowers the business to control network behaviour by emphasizing the software application instead of the network infrastructure.

Networking must support programmatic APIs in order to dynamically provision the resources needed for applications and to integrate effectively with compute and storage resources. OpenStack Networking is designed to support programmability and Software-Defined Networks. OpenStack Networking has been evolving from simple APIs and functionality in Quantum to more complex capabilities in Neutron. The course will give deep idea about SDN and its impact, evolution, adoption by various vendors in their own way. During this session, the participants will get profound knowledge about SDN and will get to know comprehensively about programmability, APIs, SDN controllers. Finally, how to integrate Cisco UCS Director with OpenStack for centralized management, provisioning and automating of resources.
