Communications service providers have made substantial progress in driving down capital costs and increasing services agility though the use of network functions virtualization (NFV).

This virtual summit will discuss the current state of NFV in the market and cover emerging technologies, including cloud-native computing. These technologies have advanced cloud computing architectures, and this panel will consider their impact on future network infrastructure.

Starting June 23, the Cloud-Native NFV vSummit video interviews will be available to view on this page. Please register if you are interested in attending the live Cloud-Native NFV vSummit Q&A Panel with the presenters.

Network at the Edge vSummit

The edge is undergoing a massive transformation and is driving compute closer to where data is created. This proximity to intelligent data is proliferating rich use cases that are transforming several segments and verticals as well as enhancing lives with new experiences.

In this session, industry experts from Telefonica, Ericsson, SkyLab, and EXOR share their insights on key challenges as well as their strategies and initiatives to provide the products and solutions that will lay the foundation for an edge that is ready to take on some of the most compelling use cases.

Starting July 7, the Network at the Edge vSummit will be available to view on this page. Please register here if you are interested in attending the live Network at the Edge Q&A Panel with the presenters.

Delivering on the promise of 5G

5G is getting a lot of buzz lately and many are wondering when it will be deployed in their local market. Prior to this rollout, many years of planning and coordination were required to bring 5G to the masses. The industry is making substantial progress with deployments around the world. In this virtual summit industry experts will share how technology and the ecosystem have come together to accelerate the deployment of 5G.

Building Enterprise Edge with Intelligence vSummit

Drivers such as latency, bandwidth, security, and connectivity and the need to process data locally are pushing enterprise workloads to the enterprise edge. Service providers and the ecosystem are innovating and building infrastructures to enable edge computing at the optimal location for the enterprises.

In this session, hear from experts from BT, CenturyLink, Telefonica and Intel on how they are working towards building enterprise edge with intelligence.

Starting August 4th the Building Enterprise Edge with Intelligence vSummit will be available to view on this page. Please register here if you are interested in attending the live Enterprise & Cloud Networking Q&A Panel with the presenters.
