Ericsson - Changing the Context with OpenStack Orchestration to Support SDN/NFV
Sponsored Sessions

Today’s orchestration and management systems are highly integrated to support a relatively stable CSP business model based on direct relationships with subscribers. SDN/NFV is destined to accelerate changes that are already occurring within CSPs to support new business models such as two-sided models and value based/yield models.

This ongoing network evolution marked by SDN and NFV powered by OpenStack is creating a new channel for service agility that is enabling business innovation across networks and IT at an unprecedented scale.

During this session we will present the opportunities for Orchestration around OpenStack to play an essential role in fulfilling the promise of a software-based approach to networking. Additionally we will address how programmability and automation of exposed network assets is collapsing time to market, decreasing total cost of ownership and opening up network capabilities for innovation in a controlled, profitable way.

Tuesday, April 26, 2:50pm-3:30pm (7:50pm - 8:30pm UTC)
