      About the Author

      …And then there were three…

      Tune into: Software Defined Networking

      When I was encouraged – back in 2013 – by our PR department to start writing a regular industry column in Dutch for the publication Cloudworks (cloudworks.nu) I decided to use music tunes and music albums as the central theme for my musings on cloud computing and the impact I expected it to have on both the IT industry and the IT profession. These are the English versions of these columns, as previously published on my employers’ blog site: the Gartner Blog Network.

      I did hesitate to start my first column with the title of a 1979 album. But he who does not understand his genesis (hint), will have difficulty understanding the future. That third out of the …and then there were three… is in the context of cloud computing of course the network. Thanks to Software Defined Networking (SDN , an acronym to remember) network capacity could – over time – just as cloud compute and cloud storage capacity before that - be consumed, allocated and even paid for in an on-demand and as-a-service fashion. Although being the third to the cloud party, understanding on demand networking can be very illustrative for understanding on demand computing as a whole.

      Another major reason for the interest in SDN is that networking and communication costs made (and still make) up a relatively large percentage of the total global IT spending. Of the total 3.7 trillion dollars IT spending of that year about 46 % was spent on Telecom Services (while software was 8%, hardware 22% and IT services 25%). Any new technologies that can influence such a large part of global IT spend tend to generate great interest from vendors and customers a like.

      Incidentally, in that same year, 13 of the largest telecommunications companies announced at the SDN World Congress in Darmstadt a joint initiative around Network Function Virtualization . This initiative encourages suppliers of network technology to increasingly enable their networking solutions to run on (clouds of) industry standard virtual servers.

      The big advantage of a software defined network – just like any other type of software defined infrastructure – is that it no longer consists of dedicated and proprietary hardware boxes with names such as firewall, load balancer, router, etc. If an organization tomorrow suddenly needs twice firewals then load balancers ( or vice versa ) , they can do so through software. And as everything that is controlled by software, this can be fully automated and happen instantly. For end-users, this had (and has) major advantages, for example the time needed for network (re) configuration can be reduced from several weeks or days to a just few hours, or even shorter.

      Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) today allows smart applications already to allocate the required storage and compute capacity in a flexible and elastic manner. And now the network could be included too. Despite the rapid advance of SDN in the last few years even now, in 2016 – the network is consistently one of the most difficult parts of the cloud to get right.

      Ironically the transition to as a Service IT started for many organizations with the network. When they were asked to give up their traditional – fixed line based – Wide Area Networks, and replace them with shared packet-switched networks. Networks that were based on X.25, a technology first described in the Orange Book from 1976, three years before the classic Genesis album that gave this first Tune into the Cloud column its title came out.

      …And then there were three… (1978) was the ninth studio album of the English band Genesis. The title refers to the fact that after several switches, departures and new additions, the band now consisted of three remaining members. Below’s melodical Follow You Follow me is one of the more well know tracks of the album.
