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.

Operationalising NFV – Principles and Practicalities
Recorded:
Oct 10 2013
49 mins
Dr. David Amzallag, VP, Virtual Telecommunications and CloudBand CTO, Alcatel-LucentETSI NFV is about to celebrate its first birthday in January 2014 and after a year (actually 2-3 years already) we see many big operators are taking their first steps into NFV with a series of proof-of-concepts and live trials. Thus, we are more able to emphasize the challenges in this fascinating journey.
Since NFV is all about operations, this session will be dedicated to discuss the main challenges we are facing in operationalizing NFV from an end-to-end manner -- roles & responsibilities, management & orchestration, and interfaces with different platforms. -
Navigating the SDN Landscape: A New Roadmap for Networks
Recorded:
Sep 5 2013
46 mins
Paul Congdon, CTO, Tallac NetworksJoin Paul Congdon, CTO of Tallac Networks and former CTO of HP Networking, for a frank discussion of Software-Defined Networking's
strengths and it's weaknesses.
Find out how much truth there is in the common criticisms of SDN, for example:
(a) SDN requires a fork-lift upgrade of your network
(b) SDN requires a complete rethink of 25 years of networking
(c) Flow-based forwarding doesn't scale
(d) SDN introduces a single point of failure
Take advantage of this opportunity to hear the views of one of the industry's most experienced professionals and to have your questions addressed during the Q/A session.
Find out more about the most important networking trend since IP from one of its pioneers. -
Defining NFV: Network Functions Virtualisation
Recorded:
Apr 3 2013
59 mins
Dr. Prodip Sen, Chair | ETSI NFV ISG; Director, Network Architecture | Verizon Network & TechnologyNetwork 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. -
