Network virtualisation for dummies
Why you need to virtualise your network


Perhaps you’ve heard some talk about network virtualisation, and wondered what it was all about. How can something physical, like network hardware, become something entirely existing in software? And how does it change the way networks operate and IT professionals do their jobs?
In this guide, you will learn why network virtualisation is such a hot topic, how you can get started, and steps you can take to optimise cost savings. You will also hear about the basics of network virtualisation and how it can transform a company's network to become:
- Agile and configurable enough to move as fast as the business itself
- Smarter and faster than the cyber criminals who are always looking for a way in
- Flexible enough to enable users to run applications and access data from anywhere in the world
