Re: SDN
ms.akkineni, actually because that is true, companies like Apple, Huawei, etc., are advancing in the market due to the fact that they are focusing on performance and excellence in products and service. So it may become a "differentiator" over time.

@Mitch:
I would also like to add, some times setting overambitous goals works better for some people. A little push may sometimes result in wonders and bring out some hidden capabilities into light. And also I know that some people function much better when their plate is too full and turn out to be more effective and be triple productive. That is based on my observation and experience.
Re: SDN
The development should work out the glitches and provide solutions and customer support that offers a reliable performance - that would truly drive the market..
@DHagar:
Excellent point.
Recently market has become ovrely competitive that it almost feels like a race when it comes to launching something new. So often times there is a tendency not to spend enough time in understanding all glitches from a previous version of the product and incorporate the fix in a subsequent version. More focus is put into how fast to bring something new into the market and win the race.

Re: SDN
@vnewman, you raise excellent questions. I also believe your point addresses what hinders our progress in adapting new technologies - in that we race to play with the latest "capabilities" instead of developing the technology and working out the designs and models until they truly work.
When you are dealing with SDN/NFV that have have so many variables and unleash both new opportunities and problems, they would be further ahead to truly "develop" the commercial capabilities and provide reliable service to the customers. The development should work out the glitches and provide solutions and customer support that offers a reliable performance - that would truly drive the market.
Not a great year?
I question the assertion that 2015 wasn't a great year for SDN, other than SD-WAN. First off, that's a huge "other than." SD-WAN is not to be dismissed lightly.
We're also seeing momentum for SDN in virtual CPE.
Related, increased demand for NFV is driving demand for SDN.
AT&T is a leader in deploying SDN on production networks.
Why does AT&T feel the need to develop its own controller, given the plethora of choices available?
Re: SDN
vnewman - Overambitous goals aren't bad. Even if you fall short, you will have come a long way.

Re: SDN
@vnewman I did see the same patern in Canada with Security Co... I think it does happen in North America everywhere... but many Co. in Canada did try to hide it under the carpet...

Re: SDN
@vnewman interesting point, I could not agree more as it does happens when bottom line not get calculated properly...

Re: SDN
@vnewman I'm talking to them at the first of the month. Isn't that the danger of all of this virtualziation though? That something will get messed up for the current customers while the transitions are underway? I think that's the nightmare scenario that's causing some to drag their feet.
