Abstract
The core elements of any data center are: compute, network, and storage. These elements operate in silos which had led to many operational inefficiencies in data centers. This has forced organizations to relook at ways in which the various infrastructure elements can be utilized in an optimal manner. Virtualization technology has proved very handy to ensure that all infrastructure components of the data center are used in an efficient manner. The various flavors of virtualization which are possible in the infrastructure components of the data center are the following: (1) compute virtualization, (2) network virtualization , (3) storage virtualization . In this chapter, we have focused exclusively on network virtualization technology and also the various network virtualization techniques. The various network virtualization techniques which are covered in this chapter are the following: (1)network functions virtualization , (2) Software-Defined Network
