Software Defined Networking (SDN)

Automate and centrally control network infrastructure using software-defined networking principles for agile, programmable data center fabrics.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) decouples the network control plane from the data plane, enabling centralized, programmable management of network infrastructure. CSL implements SDN solutions using Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) for data center fabrics and VMware NSX-T for network virtualization and microsegmentation. SDN dramatically reduces the time required to provision new application connectivity from weeks to minutes, and enables consistent security policy enforcement across the entire network fabric regardless of where workloads run.
