[Tech Talk] Open Networking - A look at the growth and transformation of networks across Asia and Oceania
Hosted by Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation
21st May, 11am - 12pm (SGT/HKT)

How flexible and simplified your automation is?

Network requirements across cloud, mobile and enterprise applications have been changing and growing rapidly. This has resulted in the need for increased flexibility and simplification of automation. Open networking has several advantages over traditional networking in helping businesses address the challenges of this new cloud enabled world.

Open networking disaggregates the hardware from the software allowing for freedom of choice, creating a flexible combination of software based on workloads. This creates a highly efficient network resulting in significant savings of up to 50% in CAPEX compared to traditional OEM networking.

In this second webinar session of the three-part series, Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation will be sharing insights into the latest Open Networking solutions and share a case study in Asia on the transformation from traditional legacy system to an agile open network.
