Join Tech Field Day and the delegates from Mobility Field Day 8 as they discuss the future of wireless. What problems are facing the wireless and mobility industry today? How are we adapting to Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E? Are clients the source for all our woes? And what does that mean for Wi-Fi 7? Find out more as we discuss these topics!

In the Tech Field Day delegate roundtable discussion on the future of wireless in 2022, experts delved into the complexities and challenges facing the wireless industry, particularly with the adoption of new standards like Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and the upcoming Wi-Fi 7. A significant portion of the conversation focused on the difficulties posed by client devices, which often lag in supporting new protocols and standards, leading to security and compatibility issues. The delegates discussed the role of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the need for more stringent certification processes to ensure better client compliance. They also debated the practicality and readiness of new technologies, with some expressing skepticism about the immediate benefits of Wi-Fi 7 given the current underutilization and inefficiencies of Wi-Fi 6 features like OFDMA and BSS coloring. The discussion highlighted the tension between marketing-driven advancements and the real-world performance and reliability of wireless technologies, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that considers both innovation and practical deployment challenges.

Is the number one public cloud the one with the most resources, the most customers, the most mindshare, or the best service? That’s the question put to the Field Day delegates during this Gestalt IT Roundtable discussion. Setting aside size, which probably favors Alibaba over all, Amazon Web Services is driving the conversation in enterprise IT, especially in the west. But what about Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, let alone Oracle Cloud and IBM?

Enterprise IT analysts and pundits are talking about the rise of the supercloud, which would incorporate the best aspects of public, hybrid, and private cloud infrastructure and offer a flexible overlay to enable seamless workload movement. But is this concept realistic, let alone appropriately named? That’s the question for the Field Day delegates during this Gestalt IT Roundtable discussion. Would the supercloud be a superset or a subset of features, and what does it mean for the product and service landscape in enterprise cloud?

Kubernetes is rapidly rising in enterprise IT, replacing Docker and VMware vSphere in the mind of cloud architects. But is K8s the final answer to IT infrastructure? Not at all! In this Cloud Field Day delegate Roundtable discussion, the group considers what comes after Kubernetes, both technically and metaphorically.

In this Tech Field Day roundtable, experts discussed the future of Kubernetes and what might come next in IT infrastructure. They agreed that while Kubernetes has become a central framework for cloud architecture, it is not the final answer. The conversation highlighted the need for Kubernetes to evolve by abstracting complexities and becoming more developer-friendly, potentially through serverless solutions and better integration with AI and ML workloads. The panelists emphasized the importance of maintaining Kubernetes’ simplicity while extending its capabilities to manage heterogeneous and disaggregated compute environments. They also discussed the necessity of improving Kubernetes’ understanding of storage and networking to optimize resource allocation. The consensus was that Kubernetes should continue to serve as a foundational layer, enabling more sophisticated and automated orchestration of diverse workloads, ultimately freeing developers and operators to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management. But what does the name really mean? It’s not so simple, as the Cloud Field Day delegates debate in this Roundtable discussion. It’s also a framework for understanding modern cloud infrastructure and a shortcut to refer to an entire ecosystem of technology. What does Kubernetes mean to you?
