Application-Driven Networking:
Definition
• Architecture that delivers integration between applications and the
network
• Encompasses all of Avaya’s portfolios
• Builds of existing capabilities (fabric, policy, & performance monitoring)
• Solves a real problem of application awareness, location, and
performance correlate with network intelligence
• Automate IT from SME to the Fortune 100
• An evolution of SDN:
• Delivers QoE for a flexible workforce while fully automating what is
currently manual control of the user-application interface
• Is an enterprise-wide architecture as opposed to simply something that
is Data Center-centric
• Proactively husbands application capabilities and network resources to
match policy-based service delivery
