change, and delete networks in minutes or even
seconds—enabling new levels of agility and efficiency.

As a networking professional,
you already know the limitations
of a hardware-centric network.
Now it’s time to shift toward
network virtualization—a model that
is more affordable, agile, and secure.
Network infrastructures are less
agile than other data center
components. Traditional enterprise
network deployments do not
typically include the level of
automation, programmability and
multi-tenancy that is warranted to
support modern cloud initiatives.
