In preparation for my upcoming webinar, here is another video  I did a few months back around how to prepare your environment for software defined networking. Regardless of which SDN solution you choose, there is a lot of backend work that needs to be done. Before you get into the weeds around specific products, you need to take a step back. To be successful, you’re going to need to have a level of understanding about your applications you’ve never needed before. I will cover this briefly in my webinar, but if you are planning on attending, this is a good one to watch first to help set the stage.

Register for Nick’s webinar, “VMware NSX vs. Cisco ACI: When to Use Each, When to Use Both.” In the webinar, Nick will cover:

• The current state of the SDN market
• VMware NSX & Cisco ACI overview
• When it makes sense to use each, or even both
• Next steps to get your environment prepared for SDN initiatives
