Michael Nielsen, Director, Solution Marketing, HP Networking Last week at Cisco Live, Cisco unveiled their new Software Defined Network strategy. I’ve had an opportunity to review their public materials, and my reaction is mixed. I was encouraged to see that they recognize the need for programmability at multiple layers. Similar to HP’s approach with Virtual Application Networks launched earlier this year, they call out orchestration, network services, control and forwarding planes and transport layer. It’s good that they have come to a parallel conclusion that network programmability isn’t solely about one technology, it’s about the ecosystem. But now I’m confused. Let me explain. . .

Gartner just published a new magic quadrant report titled “Magic Quadrant for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure” which effectively replaces two reports that were previously published: the Campus LAN and WLAN magic quadrant reports. This magic quadrant reflects enterprises requirements today that demand unification at the edge driven by the explosive growth of IT consumerization. Gartner best summarizes the key message in this research in its opening paragraph of the report by stating that: “Connectivity at the edge of an enterprise network is more than just a wired or wireless LAN infrastructure. Enterprises must choose infrastructure vendors that support network services, including security and management, and can integrate wired and wireless networking products.” So, the question is: which of these vendors can really deliver?
