The compelling case for open networking
Open networking ecosystem is one that fosters interoperability and collaboration, best supported by standards-based protocols and well-documented APIs.The network of the future is unbounded, unlocked and open, advocating for cost-effective solutions—solutions that are delivered faster, are more capable of scaling and provide more value to organisations of all sizes. “Open networking,” much like “software-defined networking (SDN),” “cloud” or “agility,” has fallen victim to the trend of vague terminologies masked in ambiguity. These terms pervade the industry and lead to alternate interpretations that mutate over time, becoming household words that often mean something different to each person in the room.
