Building Automation for Networks That Never Sleep – Midday Keynote Presentation
Seminole Hard Rock Support Services supports non-stop gaming, retail, entertainment, and hospitality, and seventy thousand employees across hundreds of global hotels, casinos, and cafes operating under the Seminole Gaming and Hard Rock International brands. With an over fifty year legacy plus recent rapid expansion, automating networks means dealing with serious legacy footprints, massive greenfield build-outs, and hyper-intense connectivity that has low to no tolerance for down time. In this fireside chat, Franck will share his experience in building automation across one of the most uniquely complex and demanding enterprise network environments.
Franck Fuziol is Director of Information Technology at Seminole Hard Rock Support Services, where he supports mission-critical technology environments behind the company’s global hospitality and gaming operations, including non-stop network operations. His career spans software development, technical operations, and network technology in large-scale, technically complex projects, bringing a broad technical perspective to enterprise IT.
Ernest co-founded ONUG with Nick Lippis after realizing that the user community needed to take control of their own destiny and expedite the network transformation. At the time he was VP of the Internetwork Engineering organization at Fidelity Investments and under his leadership Fidelity hosted the first ONUG in Boston in February 2013.
A 12-year veteran of Fidelity, Ernest was responsible for leading the team that engineered world class network, security, and application delivery services driving value to the customer beyond infrastructure management. Ernest also managed the Network and Voice service portfolio as well as Global Network Operations LAN/WAN teams and has held various technical and leadership roles.
