The ongoing shift from hardware-based, dedicated network functionality to software-based networking built on virtualized infrastructure appears to be in full swing. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), which play a critical role in the delivery of high-quality video (such as Netflix, YouTube), provide an excellent use case for deployment within these evolving frameworks.Accommodating new technology and satisfying customer demand for video are only a subset of the larger benefits realized with SDN infrastructure. Among them:• A more CapEx-friendly use and reuse of available server resources, in which the operator can leverage the same servers for CDN and/or other services and apps when and where needed• Simplified provisioning, failure management, and other operational tasks, targeted at reducing OpEx• Reduced time to market for new services enhances revenues and customer satisfaction
