Cisco Cariden [EOL] vs Cumulus Networks comparison

Cisco Software-Defined Networking (SDN) helps organizations accelerate application deployment and delivery, through policy-enabled work-flow automation. SDN technology enables cloud architectures by providing automated, on-demand application delivery and mobility at scale. SDN accomplishes these business objectives by converging the management of network and application services into centralized, extensible orchestration platforms that can automate the provisioning and configuration of the entire infrastructure.
