Triple-T Presentations by Nokia, Microland, Meter, Palo Alto

NYC 2024

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 – 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.

4:30 pm – Automating the “Work” out of Networking – Microland Triple-T 

As enterprises become fully digital, their needs and expectations regarding enterprise networking—and its potential to impact business growth—have increased. Enterprise networks are being transformed to address these business needs and are becoming too complex to manage with conventional tools and techniques.

For enterprise networking to deliver seamless experiences, it needs to be performant, reliable, agile, secure, and adaptable. Microland’s platform-first approach redefines network transformation and operations, shifting from a conventional human-centric, technology-aided method to a technology-centric, human-aided approach through Automation and AIOps driven by insights from Infrastructure and User Experience Analytics.

Come to Microland’s presentation to hear how we take ‘work’ out of networking from automating significant manual steps during network transformations to alleviating the chronic issues that cause users to suffer in silence to even helping you manage your Total Cost of Ownership of the network costs all through a single platform—Microland’s Intelligeni NetOps.

Empowering you to unwind and focus on higher-order initiatives!
