White Paper Abstract:
Virtualization of the network provides multiple solutions for centralizing services and security policies while preserving the high-availability, manageability, security, and scalability benefits of the existing campus design. To be effective, these solutions must address the three primary aspects of network virtualization: access control, path isolation, and services edge. Implementing these solutions enables network virtualization to coalesce with the Cisco Systems® Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA), creating a solid framework for enterprises to migrate to an Intelligent Information Network.
