Speaker Details

From an early career as an intern software engineer, his current focus areas have moved him into defining, building and delivering NFV-based telco solutions bringing together technologies that form building blocks integrating Cloud-native applications / VNFs on NFVi platforms. Being an IEEE Senior Member he is also associated with CCICI, Cloud Computing Innovation Council of India as a member since 2012 and is actively contributing to defining Cloud Interoperability and Portability for India ecosystem in association with (Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India) TSDSI SG2. Knowledgable on 5G, NFV, Edge  - Impact of 5G Rel16, ETSI NFV, cloud-native microdata centers efforts on -

1. Managed Container infrastructure Object (MCIO) Pods

2. Interfaces  IFA040 and APIs change for MANO Orchestrator & VIM framework including OpenStack CNTT Rx1s and Kubernetes Rx2s.

3.  Changes to VNF, VNFC, CP a Tosca/Helm templates/Charts for VNFD, VDU, CPD schemas,& CRDs. Updating Config, FCAPS  on Deployments, Deamonsets, Clusters, Namespaces starting Bare Metal hosts, nodes, Devices like GPU, FPGA, NVME, and other heterogeneous components.

4. Open Infrastructure role in 5G core to Edge and Edge to Nomadic to Mobile Gateways and Consumer & Enterprise for 5G, IoT and Edge use cases.

5. Performance optimization for latency-sensitive, bandwidth sensitive  and compute-intensive network functions including service function chaining, slicing, mapping, placements,

6. Edge platform automation and scheduling for parallel life cycle management along with local loop monitoring and controls.

7. Data-driven architectures, design, and enabled through hybrid VNF and Container workloads.

8. Effect of merchant Silicon for NPU, GPU, DSPs in programmable solutions on in-line accelerations, and user/kernel offloads for latency optimizations.

9. Impact of pandemic & glocalization of the supply chain on Open technology for different Edge, NFV & 5G,  Markets.

10. Hands-on experience, leading integrations efforts on the virtualized solutions for EPC, IMS.

11. Migration from LTE EPC to 5GC with any reference implementations like FB Magma MVP with AMF, SMF a UPF.

12. Any Radio Network Slicing deployments along with mappings to Transport and Core slicing.
