#Cisco Australia has continued to stress that the networking resellers in its channel must evolve to a software-defined world, as the vendor this week holds its second global partner conference of 2016. In San Diego in March, Ken Boal, vice president of Cisco Australia and New Zealand, warned that traditional networking partners "have no choice” but to adapt to a software-based world. This week at Cisco Partner Summit in San Francisco, Boal told CRN that efforts to get the partner community on-board are being “fast tracked” and that “one of the biggest areas we’re focused on is the modernisation of networking”. Giving the scale of the task at hand, Boal stated that in Australia there are "literally hundreds of thousands of network engineers that need to go through this upskilling exercise, including our own folks”, and that in the last couple months, the company’s software-defined networking controller has been downloaded more than 500 times. #SDN
