OpenFlow has made a big splash after some high profile funding announcements. As we move into the next phase of product development and even early delivery, it’s important to engage with a wider commercial audience to share the vision and capabilities of this new technology.
Packet Pushers and Tech Field Day have joined together to offer a day on OpenFlow in a panel discussion format.
Also see OpenFlow Symposium – Applied OpenFlow – San Jose, October 25, 2011 at the Packet Pushers site
The event will be held in San Jose immediately preceding Networking Field Day 2. It will be streamed live from the Tech Field Day site and will include many of the Field Day delegates. Packet Pushers will be providing hosts and will publish recordings of the panel discussions as well. We will also offer free tickets for seating if you would like to attend in person!
