Hazelton will moderate a panel that addresses how enterprises can effectively manage 'bring your own device' (BYOD) deployments with an emphasis on mobile applications.
Preparing for and Managing Disruptive Change in Networking
Networking is experiencing tremendous upheaval, driven by the advent of hypervisor-based virtual networks. The rise of merchant silicon-based networking gear and the virtualization of ever greater swaths of network connectivity have changed how networks are built and where – and by whom – value is delivered. With many of networking's historical problems being solved in silicon, software is the area for differentiation, and the ability to rapidly innovate is changing capabilities and expectations. Eric covers these emerging networking technologies extensively, looks at how these profound changes will affect the digital infrastructure ecosystem, and provides expert, strategic guidance to enterprises.
A recognized industry thought leader, Eric will moderate the keynote panel on software-defined networking (SDN) at Interop on May 8:
