SYS-CON Announces 1st International Software Defined Networking Conference

The four-day SDN event to be held June 10-13, 2013, at New York's Javits Center

SYS-CON Events announced today that the 1st International Software Defined Networking Conference (SDNExpo.co) will take place June 10-13, 2013, at the Javits Center in New York City. Software Defined Networking Conference is co-located with 12th International Cloud Expo and 3rd International Big Data Expo.

According to a recent report by Deloitte Consulting, firms using Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can save up to 50% on their networking bills. Since those bills currently add up to about 10-15% of IT budgets, that's a huge amount of cost driven out of the business. That makes it very much the right new technology at the right time.

Put simply, SDN is the use of software to create networks that can be reconfigured quickly and centrally without the need for any costly or time-consuming adjustment of individual routers and switches.

"Whether implemented on its own or combined with traditional networking technology, one thing is certain: everyone in enterprise IT is going to be hearing and doing a lot more around Software Defined Networking," said Carmen Gonzalez, CEO of SYS-CON Events, Inc. "Which is why we are delighted to launch what we anticipate will be a great and well-attended new event. As always, we seek to lead from the front, from the bleeding edge of enterprise IT innovation. SDN Expo will be the premier worldwide event specifically focused on SDN."
