For more information, see VMready at:http://www.ibm.com/systems/networking/software/vmreadyThe G8264 is SDN ready with its OpenFlow support. With OpenFlow, you can easily create user-controlledvirtual networks, optimize performance dynamically, and minimize complexity when used with an OpenFlowcontroller.RackSwitch G8264 5
