        NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
                
                    This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

                Software Defined Networking ( SDN ) is a broad topic, but is becoming ever more important. The ability to configure our networking devices using software is blurring the lines of where our application deployments end. It encompasses everything from virtual networking appliances like AWS’ Load Balancers or CoreOS’ Flannel, to networking equipment that supports standards like OpenFlow. Where cloud providers have previously focused on compute and storage, we expect the growing array of SDN tools to deliver further efficiencies to how we handle our systems both off and on premise.
