Security solutions and design scenarios for software defined data centers

Abstract

The purpose of introducing Software Defined Networking in the architecture of data centers is to streamline the management of the network devices. Although this reduces the workload of configuring each network device, it gives rise to new problems in terms of security and design of the data center. In this paper, we will go through each ideal design structure for conventional data centers suggested by Cisco and recommend how to introduce an SDN Controller into each of those scenarios.
