Triple-T Presentations by Apcela, Nokia, Microland, Meter
Hear from these AI Networking Sponsors as they present Tools, Technologies and Techniques that that map to solutions that enable trusted Infrastructure to drive business value in today’s Enterprise.
Here’s the lineup:
4:30 pm – Platform Approach to NaaS: Empowering Digital Transformation – Apcela
Apcela’s Triple-T presentation will demonstrate a transformative platform-based Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) approach that supercharges enterprise digital transformation. We’ll demonstrate how a modular, vendor and carrier neutral platform facilitates key business outcomes including scalability, security, performance, cost efficiency, and more importantly, agility.
Discover how a platform approach accelerates digital transformation and cloud adoption by enabling enterprises to leverage their existing investments in technology and their approved network and security architectures instead of being forced to select a new, and often, a single-vendor solution.
We will demonstrate operationalization of one of the platform modules (SD-WAN), with one of the vendor partners (HPE Aruba) for orchestration of Global WAN and Multicloud.
4:30 pm – DC Network Automation Using K8’s Cloud-native Constructs – Nokia Triple-T
While there are many automation tools and platforms in the market, the reality is that for many of the typical enterprise network operations tasks are still done manually. Surveys conducted by Network Management organizations and Industry Analysts across industries report that network automation is often only partially deployed and less than half of the typical manual tasks have been automated. This results in islands of automation and unfulfilled value against the business spend.
In this Triple-T presentation we demonstrate how the concepts of Kubernetes and open community toolsets can be applied to network automation and orchestration to simplify operations. This enables the creation of easily consumable and highly predictable data center networks that give you the confidence to move as speed. From this session you will gain insights into why Kubernetes is the right foundation for network programmability and will see the solution in simplifying the complex.
4:45 pm – Generative UI for Your Network – Meter Triple-T
Generative UI products like Meter Command allow users to query their networks, take action, and create custom software fit to their specific needs – all in real-time and in natural language. These advancements are enabling IT and Networking teams to more efficiently work through routine operations and execute complex tasks, saving them time and resources. Join this session to discover practical applications of Command for faster troubleshooting, more personalized reporting, and complexity reduction.
