The hybrid cloud provides compelling benefits to the enterprise – the security of the private cloud combined with a public cloud’s scale and scope. However, hybrid clouds also experience similar challenges. Increasing traffic demands combined with their dynamic nature can result in costly overprovisioning or inefficient under-provisioning of resources. OpenFlow-enabled SDN as a foundation for hybrid cloud provides a uniquely scalable and cost-effective solution to these problems.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Marc LeClerc, a representative of the Open Networking Foundation, will discuss this solution to the provisioning issues of the hybrid cloud and the resulting benefits.
