Ownership and control over resources represent a core consideration in network architectures. This concept encompasses the rights and responsibilities associated with managing and utilizing network infrastructure components within a Software-Defined Access (SDA) environment. For instance, a specific organization may retain exclusive privileges to configure and monitor particular virtual network segments within a shared physical infrastructure.
The allocation and management of ownership are pivotal for security, compliance, and operational efficiency. Clear delineation of control allows for targeted security policies, simplifies audits, and facilitates streamlined troubleshooting. Historically, establishing clear ownership in traditional networks was often complex and resource-intensive, necessitating physical segmentation and dedicated hardware. SDA offers the potential to simplify this process through logical separation and policy-driven management.
