Modern enterprise networks are evolving from traditional static configurations to intelligent, automated, and programmable systems. Controller-based and software-defined architectures (SDN) simplify network management by separating control and data functions, enabling automation and centralized policy enforcement. Controller-Based and Software-Defined Network Architecture In a controller-based architecture, a dedicated controller (or controllers) centrally manages the network’s control logic. … Read more

Traditional networks rely on manual configuration of each device, such as routers and switches, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. In contrast, controller-based networking (powered by Software-Defined Networking) offers centralized control, automation, and improved scalability. As modern networks grow in size and complexity, moving from traditional to controller-based architectures helps organizations achieve faster … Read more
