Software Defined Networking System Overview
Today is observed the extremely active growth in the bandwidth-intensive applications and permanent demand for speed, scalability, and resilience. The traditional networks and data centers are on the limit of their possibilities.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new powerful concept for decision these problems. SDN proposes to disaggregate the traditional networking stacks that are vertically integrated to customize the network operations for specialized environments and improve network service velocity.
SDN is a special approach to computer networking that allows network administrators to manage network services via the abstraction of functionality of the lower level. It is realized by separating the control plane from the data plane.
SDN is an important step in the evolution to the programmable and active networking. With SDN the network administrators have the programmable central control of the network traffic through the controller, without the physical access to the network's switches. Many networks use switches for sending, receiving and directing data over the network.
The networks with SDN allow to network administrators quickly respond on the changing of business requirements. The traffic can be formed from a centralized control console, there is no need to go out to another building to reconfigure switches individually.
The first supporters of SDN were OpenFlow, OpenDaylight, Brocade. The main application of SDN is the infrastructure as a service (IaaS), it is also used in the consolidated data-center, in traditional and geo-distributed campus networks. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful network diagramming and vector drawing software. It provides the Computer and Networks Area with many Solutions that contain the wide set of ready-to-use predesigned vector stencils, templates and samples to help you design the professional looking Software-Defined Networking (SDN) diagrams of any complexity quick and easy.
Example 1. Software Defined Networking System Overview
On this example you can see the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) diagram that was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
The network diagrams designed with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM are vector graphic documents and are available for reviewing, modifying, and converting to a variety of formats (image, HTML, PDF file, MS PowerPoint Presentation, Adobe Flash or MS Visio).

Virtual networks. Computer and Network Examples →
A Virtual network is a computer network that consists of virtual network links, i.e. between the computing devices there isn't a physical connection. Well known forms of network virtualization are virtual networks based on the virtual devices (for example the network based on the virtual devices inside a hypervisor), protocol-based virtual networks (VLAN, VPN, VPLS, Virtual Wireless network, etc.) and their combinations. This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Virtual network.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a high-speed networking standard intended for supporting the voice and data communications. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful network diagramming and vector drawing software that provides the Computer and Networks solution with wide set of ready-to-use predesigned vector stencils and examples to help you design the ATM Networks quick and easy.
Metropolitan area networks (MAN). Computer and Network Examples →
A list of parameters on which networks differ is very long. A large network with a range up to 50 kilometers is called metropolitan area network (MAN), and this type of network can include several local area networks. Metropolitan networks in their turn connect into global area networks. Here you will see a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). This is an extensive network which occupies a large territory including a few buildings or even the whole city. The space of the MAN is bigger than LAN, but lower than WAN. MAN comprise a lot of communication equipment and delivers the Internet connection to the LANs in the city area. Computer and Networks solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM provides a set of libraries with ready-to-use vector objects to design various kinds of computer networks.

Network Diagramming Software for DesignRack Diagrams →
Rack Diagrams visualize the rack mounting of computer and network equipment as the drawing of frontal view of the rack with equipment installed. They are used for choosing the equipment or racks to buy, and help to organize equipment on the racks virtually, without the real installation. Network Diagramming Software - ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is perfect for software designers and software developers who need to draw Rack Diagrams._Win_Mac.png)
How to Create a Social Media DFD Flowchart →
In order to be successful, you have to promote your business on the market. One of the ways for planning this promotion is to create a social media DFD Flowchart which will contain all the details of your business strategy. Social media is a very influential tool, and it's a mistake to ignore it. The following flowchart represents a best way to estimate social media posts, and gives a strategy of responses. This flowchart is designed in the format of cross-functional flowchart. With this format, we can divide the process into three distinct phases. This approach helps to generate well-considered and balanced response on social networks activities. Using ConceptDraw solution for Social Media Response, your reaction to social media posts will positively mirror the values and mission of your business.
Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD - Software for Design Crows Foot ER Diagrams →
There are many ways to describe a database structure. One of the most usual is to draw an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using a Crow’s Foot notation to represent database elements. If you don’t want to draw it on paper, you should use an appropriate software. An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is used to show the structure of a business database. ERD represents data as objects (entities) that are connected with standard relationships symbols which Illustrate an association between entities. ERD, there is a wide range of ERD notations used by data bases architects for reflecting the relationships between the data entities. According to the crow’s foot notation relationships are drawn as single labeled lines designating a certain kinds of relationship. Crow foot notation is a most frequently used ERD standard, because of improved readability of diagrams, with a more accurate use of space on the page._Win_Mac.png)
Daisy Chain Network Topology →
This sample was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Computer and Networks solution from Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. A Daisy Chain is the simple computer network. It is the easiest way to add more Ethernet devices into the network. In the Daisy Chain network one computer is connected to the next without any intervening devices, thus the message is sent from one computer to the next and then to the next and so on. A Daisy Chain can be linear or ring
