ReadWrite team says, “Many network operators expect the near-term benefits of software-defined networking, or SDN, to be operational in nature: greater management efficiency, fewer interoperability challenges, possible reductions in operational expenses. However, the original promise of SDN—faster, custom innovation through programmability—provides new opportunities for rapid service innovation and monetization for organizations with the resources and processes in place to develop and deploy them.

Not surprisingly, SDN has seen early adoption in service providers and large enterprises with early-adopter IT cultures and active cloud deployments. On the other hand, smaller organizations with very finite infrastructure resources and staff are using SDN to manage traffic spikes and large flows in more efficient ways“.
