The #WindowsServer2016 #NetworkController is a central point of automation within the software-defined network. It consists of a few parts. A management plane enables the admin to define policies. The Network Controller sends those policies to a control plane, which distributes them to the necessary endpoints. Finally, a data plane, which is the operating system on the endpoints, transfers the policies from the management plane to the control plane. Think of the Windows Server 2016 Network Controller as the brain of the software-defined network. It pushes the desired network state to the network for enforcement. With this architecture, the Network Controller does not sit in the middle of the data path, which means VMs can communicate with one another unassisted. Policies also enforce on the end nodes without the need for a third party to ensure compliance. Admins use the System Center Manager from the command line with PowerShell or RESTful API calls to control the Windows Server 2016 Network Controller
