Software Defined Networking for Enhanced Scalability and Flexibility in Cloud Infrastructures
Keywords:
Software-Defined Networking, Cloud Computing, Scalability, Network Management, Dynamic AdaptabilityAbstract
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is revolutionizing the architecture of cloud infrastructures by introducing enhanced scalability, flexibility, and efficiency. This paradigm decouples the control plane from the data plane, enabling centralized network management and dynamic adaptability. The integration of SDN with cloud environments addresses critical challenges such as resource allocation, load balancing, and latency minimization. Furthermore, SDN facilitates the seamless deployment of applications, robust security frameworks, and cost-effective network scaling. This paper explores the interplay between SDN and cloud computing, presenting case studies and comparative analyses to illustrate its transformative impact on modern data centers and distributed systems.
