Is there a difference between network virtualization and Software-Defined Networking (SDN)? So, in a similar fashion to my post on network overlays vs. network virtualization , I thought I’d weigh in with some thoughts. With this definition in hand, let’s compare network virtualization to SDN.

For example, the server virtualization value proposition is simple. Once server virtualization is in the door more of the operational advantages and efficiencies appear. So, NSX would sit on top of the physical network, which would give you the same capability to provision extremely complex virtual networks from Layer 2 to 7.

I am thinking that maybe 2013 will finally be the year of virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) enabled BYOD. This allows a user to checkout an offline version of the virtual desktop. XenClient is actually a bare metal hypervisor which also allows the user to check out a virtual desktop. I was close in my prediction.
