The Vyatta Empowering SDN program enables companies to take steps now, using established protocols like OSPF and BGP, to create agile, capacity-on-demand networks for the future. With Vyatta Network OS, network engineers and architects can: - Utilize the Vyatta API to start today, by integrating software-based routers and firewalls into their management tools and server deployment infrastructure - Adopt a consistent routing and security approach to span existing production server farms and emerging, trial SDN-enabled server farms - Build toward, rather than catch-up to, the new SDN enabled operating environment This presentation, originally given at VMWorld 2012, outlines how Vyatta enables enterprises and service providers to build toward the software-defined networks of the future.

EMPOWERING SDN
SOFTWARE-BASED NETWORKING & SECURITY FROM VYATTA
What is SDN?
“…programmable networks (or more precisely, network elements that can be configured through a reasonable and documented API)…”
– Ivan Pepelnjak, ipSpace.net “Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging network architecture where network control is decoupled from forwarding and is directly programmable…”
– Open Networking Foundation

Why are SDNs important?
• “It’s about the apps, stupid” – Development velocity – Growth of test/dev environments
• Datacenter growth is placing pressure on networks – Density of servers is changing network
topology, but not removing need for segmentation & security
– Operational simplicity – Capital cost of infrastructure needs to decrease
How is SDN used today?
• Datacenter Network Virtualization – Overlay networks
• Tunnels – VXLAN, STT, GRE • Solves VLAN exhaustion & L2 extensibility
– Programmability of L2 segments – OpenFlow – Cloud infrastructure
• Per-tenant network segments & security • Carrier-grade OpenFlow
– WAN Programmability
