Overall Satisfaction with IBM Networking Services for Software Defined Networks

Our organization is currently using IBM Services for Software Defined networks to assess, strategize and design how we establish SDNs and optimize our network infrastructure. It is helpful in improving the usage of our resources and ensures the readiness of a network for deployment in a hybrid multiple cloud environment. We use it to create programmable network integrations in multiple clouds and data centers improving our scalability and management.

Pros

  • Creates flexible and resilient networks that can be deployed in multi-cloud hybrid environments.
  • It briskly reduces difficulties in our data center, large area and local networks.
  • Provides us with a comprehensive roadmap for our automation needs and strategies for scaling SDNs

Cons

  • It should have a standard API for inter plane connections.
  • Centralized controller is ineffective.
  • Monitoring ability.
  • Ease of configuration.
  • Open controllers simplify network design.
  • Extensibility
  • Amazing control over security. Policies are set from a central place that determines access control and security across the network.
  • Managing networks is much easier through direct programming.
