The Only Conference Envisioned & Architected By Networking Specialists For The Networking Ecosystem - With Proceeds Directly Invested In Furthering Open Source Communities
- Want to establish yourself as a Networking Innovator and Leader?
- Looking for how Networking is revolutionizing hot markets? Containers, Microservices, IOT?
- Interested in reaching Executives, Technologists, Vendors, Investors - both technical and business leaders?
- Interested in how multiple Open Source and Open Standards Initiatives are all coming together?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you should definitely be at 2017's premier Networking & Orchestration event - the Open Networking Summit.
The Linux Foundation: Home To The World's Leading Open Source Networking Projects
Through open source projects such as The Linux Foundation's OpenDaylight, OPNFV, OPEN-O, FD.io, Open vSwitch, OpenSwitch, IO Visor, ON.Lab, CORD and ONOS, thousands of developers, architects, devops practitioners and executives from around the world are working together to undertake a massive transition and to change an industry.
Such rapid transformation is exhilarating. However, if you are an enterprise, carrier, cloud provider or creator of the networking ecosystem, it can also be mind-boggling. The choices and options to provide services to your customers in this new open source ecosystem are limitless and leave many questions.
- How do we harmonize all the open initiatives across the entire stack and industry?
- How can I participate in the 'Open Revolution', saving potentially millions of dollars and providing a head-start to my core competency?
- How has networking had a profound impact on adjacent "hot" industries like Cloud, Big Data, IOT, Analytics, Security, Intelligence, and others?
Open Networking Summit 2017 is the place to find the answers to these questions, and more. Developing a formal strategy around the next wave of open networking will be an integral theme at the event.
