ProgrammableFlow Networking
A next-generation solution, ProgrammableFlow uses NEC’s OpenFlow technology to deliver a flattened, open networking topology that simplifies network management, proactively addresses performance and contributes to high availability of mission-critical business processes.
ProgrammableFlow is:
- Simple - ProgrammableFlow centralizes control of the network, eliminates the need for distributed protocols such as Spanning Tree.
- Fast - ProgrammableFlow automatically monitors network traffic and distributes it according
to custom-defined policies and continuously updated network resources and traffic conditions. - Scalable - You can scale ProgrammableFlow from managing the traffic on a single rack that is integrated into an existing network to managing the traffic within an entire data center.
- Open - ProgrammableFlow separates network control from switch hardware. As a result, organizations can make infrastructure investment decisions that are independent from the network features they want to support.
