Hardware Network Storage Virtualization 
On Network Virtualization and SDN
Scott Lowe
APRIL 30, 2013
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.

Software Defined Networking: Is Your Business Ready?
IT Toolbox
JUNE 7, 2016
Software defined networking (SDN) follows the same path as cloud-based storage and virtualized server resources. You focus on your end goals for networking rather than adapting your needs to fit into existing hardware. The network infrastructure moves from appliance-based control to application-based control.

It turns out, serverless BS (SLBS) and hardware less are still trendy, and while some might view the cloud or software-defined data center (SDDC) virtualization, or IoT folks as the culprits, it is more widespread with plenty of bandwagon riders. To me what’s ironic is that many purveyors of of SLBS also like to talk about hardware.
