THE NETWORK HAS GONE SOFT

BTs Next Generation Network – 21CN – is a software driven network.  The network is no longer about hard switches. It has gone soft

In this article from a recent edition of Between The Lines, Matt Beal, Director of Strategy, BT Design, shares his views on the implications and the opportunities of a software-driven approach to building network infrastructure.
