Software-defined Networking (SDN) and SD-WAN Fundamentals
IT Networks will never stop evolving and striving towards efficiency and flexibility. This path will take you through the absolute basics of what Software-defined Networking brings to the table. You’ll look at SDN through a vendor neutral perspective, learning about the underlying principles and technologies that allow for this leap in networking ability. You’ll then learn about how these SDNs can be applied to Wide Area Networks (also from a vendor neutral perspective).
