The Road to Network Virtualization

Andrew Wertkin, BlueCat CTO, talks to Cerner and Dell about the core business drivers for implementing network virtualization and the impact of moving to a policy-driven approach

Key Takeaways
  • Network virtualization initiatives are driven by the need to increase agility in provisioning and managing network services across dynamic environments.
  • Organizations seek to decouple network functions from physical hardware to improve scalability, flexibility, and utilization of infrastructure resources.
  • Adopting a policy-driven approach enables consistent enforcement of security, compliance, and access controls across virtual and physical networks.
  • Centralized, policy-based management reduces operational complexity and manual configuration errors in large-scale network environments.
  • Integration of network virtualization with existing tools such as DNS, DHCP, and IPAM is critical to maintaining visibility and control over IP address space.
  • Business stakeholders expect network virtualization to shorten deployment timelines for applications and services while maintaining reliability and performance.
