Software Networks. Guy Pujolle
if we look at the manufacturers’ vision, we see two avenues, which are represented by VMware and Cisco: software-orientation and hardware-orientation. The software-oriented vision is installed on the physical machines of practically all manufacturers, while hardware-orientation is greatly favorable for manufacturers – especially well-established ones.
