Survey: Software-Defined Networking-Chance to win a 32GB Nexus 7 tablet

Software-defined networking (SDN) is one of the hottest topics in IT. While few vendors are aggressively shipping products that support SDN, most IT teams are scrambling to develop strategies-and for good reason: The technology could reduce costs, increase flexibility and scalability, and eliminate lock-in. However, there's still a risk that the nascent standards could be fractured by vendors protecting their turf.

InformationWeek is conducting a survey on the current state of SDN adoption: How familiar are you with SDN? What plans, if any, do you have for adoption? What are the top drivers and inhibitors? The results of this survey will appear in an upcoming issue of InformationWeek as well as in an in-depth report.

This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Upon completion, you will be eligible to enter a drawing to receive one Google 32GB Nexus 7 tablet valued at $249 from UBM Tech. This survey sweepstakes is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Google®.

Your responses will remain confidential and will only be reported in aggregate.

To take the survey, simply click here:
http://informationweek.2013SDN.sgizmo.com/s3/?iwid=nl

We look forward to sharing the results of this survey with you soon in print and online at www.informationweek.com and http://reports.informationweek.com.
