SYS-CON Events announced today that the 1st International Software Defined Networking Conference will take place June 10-13, 2013, at the Javits Center in New York City. Software Defined Networking Conference is co-located with 12th Cloud Expo and 3rd Big Data Expo.
According to a recent report by Deloitte Consulting, firms using Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can save,up to 50% on their networking bills. Since those bills currently add up to about 10-15% of IT budgets, that’s a huge amount of cost driven out of the business. That makes it very much the right new technology at the right time.
Put simply, SDN is the use of software to create networks that can be reconfigured quickly and centrally without the need for any costly or time-consuming adjustment of individual routers and switches.
