The Software Defined Enterprise

The What?

3

SDN Is that SDS?

Does that even have an acronym?

What does that mean?

Software Defined Networks

Software Defined Storage

Software Defined

Data Centre

4

For configuring

your network?

IS SDN?

For dynamically

changing network policy?

A software control plane?

A compute platform?

Providing an API to request network

resources?

5

But: Does it matter?

6

Who Cares?!

Most end users

don't

7

And you shouldn’t care either

Most businesses are not in

the IT business

So the IT department should

really be about delivering business

solutions... Not infrastructure

8

Software is the Answer

But what’s the question?

9

Let’s take a step back

10

We need to fix this

But how?

11

12

So what’s that question?

B.A.U

CHANGE!

13

Not so easy…

14

You need to plan your software architecture

And how it will interact with the underlying infrastructure

Architecture

15

Data Modelling is key

The right data

For the right people

At the right time

16

This is not news

17

And you will need…

Software development

resources

In house

Outsourced

Partners

18

An example…

Where to start

21

Universities Innovation

Spaces

Startup weekends

Hackathons

22

The bad

23

24

The “cloud” can help

Using the cloud will make no difference if you don’t change

your IT processes

25

But if you’re

re-engineering architecture and process

Then using cloud-based

infrastructure is the

answer

The “cloud” can help

26

To sum up

27

Consumerisation of the

enterprise

The Aim

The Aim

Any device Anywhere Any time

Disrupt your

Company
