November #SDN Job Report #sdnjobreport
Starting this month, I'm going to start tracking stats around who's hiring for SDN. It will be non-scientific and I'll only use LinkedIn as my source. I'll look for job profiles that list OpenFlow, SDN, or NFV somewhere in their description. I will not make an attempt to weed out profiles that have more than one of these terms in them...so expect that they do and that I might double or triple count.
Jobs with the following term in them
OpenFlow 39
SDN 198
NFV 43

@sdrnews interviews @hp_networking about #openflow #sdn #appstore
http://sdrnews.com/2013/10/30/hp-tech-talk-sdn-app-store/
@gartner says @ciscosystems #aci is all about vendor lockin #badjuju
“ACI forces customers to buy hardware to achieve networking
agility — alternative solutions do not, are quicker to implement and are often
less expensive for customers that don’t require new hardware” – Mark Fabbi,
Gartner
@gartner comments on the proprietary nature of @ciscosystems #aci
“ACI is proprietary, resulting in lock-in to Cisco’s hardware and
provisioning software.” – Andrew Lerner, Gartner
