It’s Not About More Nerd-Knobs
Speaker: Bryan Stiekes, Fellow & VP Open Systems & Solutions, HPE Networking
The intersection of evolving highly programmable and transparent network operating systems, disaggregated network control planes, and next generation management monitoring & analytics systems lead to dramatically simpler, auto-tuning and auto-healing networks. OpenSwitch is shown as an example of an open system that can let monitoring systems and disaggregated control planes see every blink of a LED and intervene in any communication inside the system.

Using NFV to deploy new revenues generating VAS
Speaker: Nir Halachmi, Network Research Product Management, Huawei
Service providers are facing the problems of becoming a connectivity provider where most of the value will go to the OTT.
Service providers today are looking for new revenue sources and new services they can offer to up sale and increase the ARPU. In this talk we will highlight how to harness NFV technology and deploy new revenue generating Value Added Services (VAS). By providing these services from within the network, the service providers will gain competitive advantage compared to the OTT. We will deep dive into a use case of providing Desktop as a Service (DaaS) services using NFV and SDN technologies and highlight the benefits and concept of such a service.
