Dynamic Optical Networks for Cloud Services with Colt and Infinera

Mirko Voltolini, Director, Network Design and Architecture, Colt & Geoff Bennett, Director Solutions and Technology, Infinera
Data Centre and Cloud services offer a flexible solution to the problem of data storage and compute services for enterprises, and even individual users today. But one implication of data centres is that they are highly distributed – partly for resilience, but also to ensure that these distributed storage and processing functions have low latency, and appear to the user as though they are “local”. In order to do this, the underlying optical transport network has to have the same level of flexibility as the Cloud services themselves. In this webcast Colt and Infinera will describe how a modern data centre architecture places specific demands on the underlying optical transport network, and how this network can be designed from the ground up to respond to those demands.

  • Defining NFV: Network Functions Virtualisation Recorded: Apr 3 2013 59 mins
    Network Functions Virtualisation aims to consolidate many network equipment types onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage, thus providing a new network production environment, which lowers cost, raises efficiency and increases agility.

    During this webinar you will learn how and why carriers are promoting NFV, as well as how carriers and the wider telecoms and IT industries might benefit. You will hear an update on the activities and plans of the newly-created ETSI Industry Specification Group on NFV. You will be able to find out how you might contribute to the development of NFV and help in the adoption and implementation of the technologies forming this important area.
  • Addressing the Challenges of LTE Small Cell Deployments Recorded: Dec 13 2012 44 mins
    The webinar will review the results of Virgin Media Business's recent LTE small cell trials at 2.6GHz and consider both the broader deployment challenges as well as the specific backhaul requirements for large scale small cell urban deployments. The webinar will finish by looking at how this comes together in the recent win by Virgin Media Business of the metro wireless concessions for the cities of Leeds and Bradford
  • Mobile Broadband: Are you ready? Recorded: Nov 27 2012 38 mins
    Join Alcatel-Lucent in this live webinar, as they examine the new expectations placed on operators by LTE customers and how the network, particularly the packet core, needs to adapt to meet the challenge. And as new devices enter the marketplace, how can the end user be assured a seamless experience across 3G/3G+, LTE and WiFi?

    Alcatel-Lucent will share insights from the largest LTE rollouts in the world and explain how new network capabilities are shaping the expectations for LTE and 3G/3G+ networks.

  • Enabling Elastic Bandwidth for Terabit-Scale Cloud Networks Recorded: Apr 19 2012 41 mins
    The dynamic nature of content, computing and global flow of information is now placing unprecedented pressure on content providers and data center owners to plan, deliver and operate a Terabit-scale ready cloud infrastructure. But key questions must be addressed in terms of what, when, where why and how they should be implemented.

    This presentation/case study evaluates a real-world content provider's requirements and their need for elastic bandwidth. Furthermore, the presentation will review best practice recommendations including 100G ready cloud infrastructure, GMPLS based intelligent control plane for automation and restoration, and how to best leverage WDM with integrated digital switching and bandwidth virtualization to enable elastic bandwidth.
  • Introduction to OpenFlow and SDN Recorded: Mar 6 2012 33 mins
    - Introduction to ONF (Open Networking Foundation)
    - Roots and ancestry of OpenFlow
    - Further significance and utility of Software Defined Networking (SDN)
  • Securing the Carrier Cloud: 4 Essential Steps Recorded: Feb 28 2012 33 mins
    Layer123 and Juniper Networks will open up the Carrier Cloud Security debate, with a LIVE presentation and Q/A webinar. Join Juniper experts, as they share insights into Security implementation for effective Cloud defense, and the impact on risk of key architecture choices.
  • Giving LTE a Voice - Implementing VoLTE with QoS Recorded: Nov 22 2011 31 mins
    The industry has converged on VoLTE as the medium and long term solution for delivering voice on LTE. This presentation generically reviews the IMS framework for delivering VoLTE in either a green-field or an existing network and highlights implementation considerations from the packet core perspective. The critical aspect of delivering QoS is highlighted and implications for network architecture are drawn. We will also share Juniper’s perspective on design strategies for VoLTE implementation.
