This document summarizes a webinar about building the right SMB network. It discusses how software-defined networking (SDN) is changing networking and the benefits it provides like cost savings and easier administration. It also addresses challenges like compatibility with legacy equipment. The webinar examines SDN architecture and programmability and provides guidance on developing network requirements and choosing solutions that involve both new and old technologies for small to medium-sized businesses.

Editor's Notes
- Purpose of Slide: Discuss AMD’s position on how the organizations must rethink the datacenter to keep up with demand. Establish AMD’s stance and solution offerings for the modern datacenter. One size fits all is dead. Key Message: It’s not just about clock speed raw performance anymore. It’s about performance that matters. It’s about workload optimized platforms that deliver the right amount of compute. It’s about having a converged infrastructure that you can manage from a single interface. AMD understands that things are changing fundamentally and we have engineered technologies to address the needs of the modern datacenter. For example, today, AMD delivers technology that enables more efficient HP infrastructure for virtualization with HP Proliant DL385 and DL485 servers, while applying a very different and tailored solution for low-power, high density HP Moonshot cartridges for Hosted Desktop Infrastructures. Benefits of the former include lower cost per VM , while the approach of the latter offers security and a high-quality user experience. This workload optimized approach will be expanded considerably with the addition of ARM based servers now coming to market, where low power and low costs are available by leveraging the history of ARM processors in the mobile space.
- Purpose of Slide: Establish that raw performance alone is not the standard measure for server solutions Key Message: It’s not just about clock speed raw performance anymore. It’s about performance that matters. It’s about workload optimized platforms that deliver the right amount of compute. It’s about having a converged infrastructure that you can manage from a single interface. Moonshot, Numascale, DOE
- Purpose of Slide: Summarize AMD server solution offerings for the modern datacenter Key Message: Only AMD has the technology portfolio to handle today’s and tomorrow’s workloads.
- Purpose of Slide: Establish what right-sized computing means for virtualization deployments Key Message: Run virtualized environments efficiently with low overhead through AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) 2.0 technology. Direct Connect Architecture helps eliminate bottlenecks and deliver best-in-class overall system-level performance. Most IT workloads do not take full advantage of available compute power. For many common workloads, the bottlenecks are in the memory and the networking, not the processor. HP ProLiant servers running on AMD Opteron processors solve this problem, delivering “right-sized” computing for most data workloads for up to 17% lower costs[1]: HP and AMD enable customers to avoid excess spending on compute power that they will never use.
