# Software Defined Networking (SDN) in under 1 minute

[September 7, 2015](https://insights.logicalis.com/blog/author/jojames) [ByJoanne Nelson](https://insights.logicalis.com/blog/author/jojames) [Leave a comment](https://insights.logicalis.com/blog/software-defined-networking-sdn-1-minute#comments-listing)

*Joanne Nelson, VP of International Market for Logicalis Group, revisits Software Defined Networking (SDN) for non-technical executives.*

Two years ago we published a post called [Software Defined Networking (SDN) for the non-technical CXO](http://cxounplugged.com/2013/10/software-defined-networking-sdn/). The post was popular and cited by one pundit as the best analogy to explain SDN. This week we have condensed it in to six slides that, if you missed the first article, will explain SDN - in under 1 minute.
