Keynote Panel: Adapting and automating network infrastructure to meet evolving customer needs

As businesses embrace new technologies and increasingly focus on quality of service, full end-to-end automation of the network has become an urgent necessity to remain competitive and enable emerging services. A network strategy involving disaggregated deployment, virtualization, automation, and visibility can enable self-configuring, self-optimizing networks, leaving teams free to focus on 'value-adding' activities. This session will explore key drivers of network automation, effective convergence of cloud and connectivity networks, as well as the mindset change needed to implement for success.
