Course Description
Due to the multivendor nature of networking, understanding how to apply Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in your environment can be difficult.

What options are there when choosing a vendor or implementing a multivendor solution?
In this interactive course, you will analyze multiple vendor solutions and gain the confidence to begin planning your SDN strategy.
