MicroScope January 2014: A special issue looking at software defined networking
A fresh year brings new opportunities and this could be the time many in the channel consider setting out on the journey to become an MSP or investigate the opportunities around software defined networking more closely. There are also pointers in the issue on just what is happening in the security world as well as an analysis of the rising dominance of the Nordics in data centre provision.

Software defined networking is the latest development but as Billy MacInnes finds out there are other software defined options and far from being a threat for resellers this technology could prove to be a source of opportunity and growth in the year ahead.
Data centre growth
