These protections are also expensive to implement in hardware. What about data centers, where workload mobility is a key requirement? This bypasses some IPv6 limitations because host routes are treated in hardware like ND cache entries (which means you get something like 32K entries).

The latter can be open-source software such as OpenStack, CloudStack or commercial products such as Citrix CloudPlatform or VMware Cloud Director (VCD). The user level elements that are managed within such an IaaS cloud are virtual servers, cloud storage and shared resources such as load balancers and firewalls. Firewall rules.

With server virtualization, you can easily create, move, and delete virtual servers as needed, without the need for expensive hardware upgrades or complex reconfigurations. One of the key benefits of server virtualization is that it allows for more efficient use of hardware resources.

Tom’s key point is that disaggregating software from hardware—which is kind of a given if you’re buying whitebox networking gear—gives you the (potential) flexibility to repurpose network gear based on the software running on it.
