Scaling the Software-Defined Network

As you scale the number of workloads and the compute capacity associated with them, consider how the software-defined network (SDN) is going to scale in-line. Knowing the way to scale the SDN as you add compute building blocks is important for ensuring predictable and equal network performance for all workloads.

You can apply several methods for scaling your SDN to support more workloads. You can start with one strategy and move to another over time.
