Software-Defined Networking (SDN) decouples physical infrastructure and lets network administrators control their\u00a0network services with\u00a0software.<\/p>\n

While many believe that SDN represents the future of networking, Gartner’s recent networking hype cycle<\/a> shows that at least currently\u00a0SDN\u00a0has run into a\u00a0“trough of disillusionment”. \u00a0“This is the result of too much marketecture, and not enough real-world implementations as we estimate there are under 2,000 production SDN enterprise deployments. Maybe next year it starts up the slope of enlightenment,” says Gartner’s network analyst<\/a> Andrew Lerner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gartner analyst Joe Skorupa<\/a> responded to the question<\/a> frequently asked Gartner: “When will you publish an SDN Magic Quadrant?” \u00a0He said that “the simple answer is: We won\u2019t, because SDN and NFV<\/a> (Network Function Virtualization) aren\u2019t markets. They are an architectural approach and a deployment option, respectively… \u00a0We do realize that other firms have published reports on the 186 quadrillion bitcoin market for SDN and NFV. However, market forecasts predict the revenues generated by the sale of goods and services and SDN is an architectural approach.\u00a0“<\/p>\n
