Inspiring Inclusion

Service provider networks are getting larger and more complex. Performance expectations are going up and downtime expectations are going down. Meanwhile, the network team is still tiny – what an enterprise might call a “skeleton crew!”

How can lean teams tackle the chaos of network monitoring – pulling data about diverse CDNs and cloud providers, and correlate that with traditional network data like interface status and flow/traffic? All the while keeping costs low and ensuring high quality digital experiences for subscribers and customers? Can AI meaningfully contribute to this challenge or is it just hype?

Join us on Feb 29 at 10am ET, 3pm GMT, 4pm CET as we explore the challenges service providers face and what to do about it. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• How AI/ML have been used in Network Observability historically
• How to use large language models to accelerate troubleshooting today
• How to collect and analyze data from diverse sources
• What Kentik’s newly launched SaaS NMS adds to the picture
• Benefits of Streaming Telemetry with a live demonstration

In today’s telecom market, tighter margins, tougher competition, and the insatiable demand for bandwidth are all forcing global carriers to innovate at the speed of light.

Software-defined networking technology, or SDN, seems to be the answer to most of these challenges but as the concept continues gaining fervent adepts (and critics), it is becoming increasingly difficult to get unbiased information to make informed decisions.

This webinar will provide a view of SDN through the lens of a carrier network and give attendees some help to assess their organisation’s readiness and willingness to adopt SDN.

Capacity Media and NTT Ltd will host a live webinar on Thursday 30 September at 4pm London time (5pm Central European Time / 11am New York time) to discuss Software-defined networking technology (SDN) from the point of view of a carrier network and give attendees some help to assess their organisation’s readiness and willingness to adopt SDN.

During this webinar, participants will:

- Explore the technology behind the concept,
- Understand the impact on organizational and operational cultures, and;
- Learn from the case study that is NTT Ltd's experience with SDN.

The discussion will be led by Shawn Morris - Vice President, Systems, Applications & Software, Global IP Network Division of NTT Ltd.
