As companies move to a cloud environment, legacy network architectures are buckling under the pressure for instant access to applications and services that offer a high-quality user experience.

“For the past 20 years, data center networks have lagged in supporting new enterprise demands for cloud, virtualisation and big data,” Morten Illum, vice president and general manager, HP Networking, Asia Pacific and Japan.

Organisations are struggling with the complexity of current data center network fabric designs, which require manual device-by-device configurations and limit the performance of bandwidth-intensive applications.

HP is addressing these challenges with a series of software-defined network (SDN) data center switches that deliver advanced automation capabilities and industry-leading scalability for bandwidth-intensive applications such as Hadoop.
