In today’s networking environment, where networks are ubiquitous and many boxes provide various types of network functionality, software-defined networking (SDN) frees network architecture from constraints and expands opportunities for customization. With SDN, network admins can separate the control plane from the data plane, opening doors to new innovation across industries.
In this certificate program, you will develop practical skills in SDN. By learning foundational concepts, you will be able to build your first SDN in a hands-on programming environment. You will also get practical experience optimizing the flow of data using SDN. Finally, you will explore how you can use SDN to monitor a network and utilize middle boxes to scale a network up and out. With the deeper control of SDN, you can improve your network’s packet throughput, uptime, and overall efficiency, making crucial strides for your team. By the end of this program, you will be able to verify network properties with SDN and expand opportunities for your work as well as your career.
