SDN Discussions - Read me first

[AndyBryant]

Thank you for being an early adopter in the HP VAN SDN ecosystem.

In this forum we are looking to start a conversation around what SDN can do for your business.  Anything (related to SDN) goes here - whether it be ideas for apps or services that you would like to see developed, ideas for events, channel partners that can help on SDN implementation, news on SDN, or links to good SDN training material for new starters or otherwise.

Information regarding the HP Enterprise Business Community, including policies and rules of engagement, can be found in the “Quick Links” on the right of the screen.  In particular, please pay attention to the “Rules of Engagement”, which guide all on-line participation.  HP participants should be aware of HP’s Social Media and Blogging policy prior to posting.
