NEC will provide APIs to help organizations proactively and automatically manage, secure and optimize their networks through their SDN solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our new SDN Application Center will give our customers more choice on network visibility, security, load balancing and wide area networks (WAN) optimization,\u201d said Don Clark, director of Business Development, IT Platform Technologies, NEC Corp. \u201cCoupled with our previously announced comprehensive multi-vendor infrastructure support, NEC\u2019s solutions offer both northbound and southbound APIs to cover the SDN architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vendors that are part of NEC\u2019s SDN Application Center include <strong>Real Status<\/strong> (Management Applications); <strong>vArmour<\/strong> (Security Applications); <strong>A10 Networks<\/strong> and <strong>Silver Peak<\/strong> (Optimization Applications); and <strong>Red Hat<\/strong> (Cloud Orchestration Applications). The NEC ProgrammableFlow Networking suite is an OpenFlow-based technology that centralizes control of the network, monitors network traffic and redistributes accordingly, and can scale to manage everything from a single rack, or the entire data center. It\u00a0includes both physical and virtual switches as well as an SDN controller and applications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNEC\u2019s ProgrammableFlow Network Suite allows cloud service providers to rapidly deploy new services for their customers while containing their operational cost and optimizing their cloud infrastructure resources,&#8221; said\u00a0Craig Rowland, Chief Operating Officer\u00a0at Real Status. &#8220;To define relevant optimization rules for their cloud, not only do they need a strong business understanding of their cost and revenues structure, but also complete visibility and permanent monitoring of what is used by whom and when in their cloud infrastructure. Coupling the automation offered by NEC software-defined networks with Real Status\u2019\u00a0modeling and visualization solution,\u00a0Hyperglance,\u00a0gives cloud providers a significant competitive advantage and a solid foundation to rapidly grow their business.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEC Corporation of America announced the SDN Application Center, which includes software-defined networking solutions built upon customers&#8217; top-of-mind network concerns.
