Bethany Mayer, HP Networking, at HP Discover Barcelona 2013 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante
Stationed in Barcelona for the HP Discover event, John Furrier and Dave Vellante, theCUBE co-hosts, joined forces to interview Bethany Mayer, SVP and GM with HP Networking, talking about OpenFlow and SDN.
"SDN is exploding and it's getting bigger by the minute. We have now 25 million ports, 40 of our platforms are OpenFlow enabled, on the switching side 10 routers are now OpenFlow enabled, we just GA's our SDN controller and we also announced our SDK in the first quarter of the coming year, as well as our app store," said Mayer.
"There's a tremendous interest in these products and we have a very interesting partnership with VMware around NSX," she goes on. "The reality is the network needs to be more responsive to new applications; everything is about the application, not the network, and so the network needs to change to support those applications."
"What's going on under the hood for dev-ops, in the cloud, relative to the SDN?" asked Furrier.
"The Tier 1s of the service providers like the Facebooks and the Googles of the world were the first ones to embrace SDN (software defined network). Instead of having a bunch of guys typing CLIs into a bunch of switches and modifying the network at a very slow pace using a lot of resources, they threw that whole model out of the window and decided to program the network in an automated way using software, making sure the network was responsive to the apps running over it for the customers. They completely changed the paradigm within their own environment," stated Mayer.
