Cisco 5G Packet and RAN Transport Architecture

The session covers the new transport requirements for 5G (latency, bandwidth, scale, flexible service placement, MEC), Cisco proposed solution converged SDN transport to address those requirements, cloud-agnostic networking to host infra on public clouds, network slicing, and automation through Cisco Crosswork platform.

Arista’s Service Provider Opportunity

Introduction of Arista’s cloud networking approach and how it is addressing Service Provider transitions. Anshul describes how Arista’s foundation in spine / leaf network designs for the cloud data centers transitioned into the WAN interconnect roles for Arista’s ethernet switches. With the demand for high speed ethernet in the WAN, Arista’s ‘switches’ were pulled into […]

Arista Infrastructure-as-Code for Carrier Networking

Rich discusses the landscape for automating network operations in a service provider environment using software-driven control techniques. Topics include OpenConfig/NetCONFIG/YANG, state-streaming / gRPC, declarative provisioning, and workflow / service automation, and Carl explains Arista’s extensible automation framework and demonstrates a particular use-case for service provisioning using one of Arista’s Ansible Collection integration solutions.

Simplifying the Network Edge and Core with Arista

Alex covers the routing use cases that Arista focuses on, including Provider Edge, Metro Edge, and Backbone Transport use-cases. The session focused on how Arista helps to simplify Service Provider networks using the modern, open protocols and a scale-out architectural approach to network design. A discussion of how EVPN and Segment routing provides a consolidated […]

Cisco Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Case Studies for Service Provider and Data Center Network

In the presentation by Jiri Chaloupka, a deep dive into Cisco’s Ethernet VPN (EVPN) over IOS XR portfolio was provided, emphasizing the ongoing investment in service overlays. Chaloupka outlined the evolution of network underlays and overlays, highlighting the transition from traditional MPLS and IP-based underlays in service provider and data center networks to more unified […]

Cisco Secure Zero-Touch with IOS XR: Seamless Trust Enabled on Day Zero

This session does a deep dive into the RFC-8572 compliant Secure ZTP implementation on IOS-XR. Cisco showcases how this allows Cisco Service-Provider platforms to enable standards-based, end-to-end secure workflows on Day 0 of network deployment, for the first time in the industry.

Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (CNC) 3.0 Update

Crosswork Network Controller is automation solution enabling SDN for transport networks and provides service and transport provisioning with advance SLAs using Traffic Engineering, and provides path computation, visualization, monitoring and optimization as well as service health monitoring capabilities for large scale transport networks. This session focuses on the new innovations that are now available as […]

Cisco Routed Optical Networking: Why it’s Time for IP and Optical

This session covers the Cisco Routed OpticaI Networking architecture, which is a key architecture shift towards IP and Optical convergence that can achieve up to 45% TCO savings. Cisco showcases its new innovation on routing silicon, optics, optical and Crosswork automation driving this architecture transition. Learn about how network operations is simplified via Crosswork Automation […]

DriveNets Services Marketplace Evolution

Adding services to the Network Cloud marketplace, creating a rich multiservice environment that extends beyond routing, to multiple network domains, including security, analytics, mobile, access etc. – with applications from DriveNets and 3rd parties, as well as home-grown.

DriveNets Network Cloud and Serviceagility

How do we build a “serviceagile” network? The DriveNets Network Cloud networking infrastructure as a resource utilization optimizer and a service innovation catalyst. Building, onboarding, and operating multiple network functions from multiple domains (routing, security, mobile, access etc.) over a shared, unified, cloud-native, networking-optimized infrastructure.

DriveNets Network Cloud Overview

Who is DriveNets and what is the Network Cloud? How do we build networks like cloud? How can operators leverage optimal scaling, reduced cost and faster innovation by changing the way they build their network infrastructure?
