The era of cloud, virtualization and OTT is fundamentally changing network requirements. Traffic demands are shifting, creating a need for a more flexible network. Technology developments are driving new flexible hardware with a move to Open Networking. While optical transport and component vendors strive to innovate faster to meet operators' needs, providers see SDN primarily as a key means of achieving goals of rapid innovation and service deployment.
