@CNWEdit @Light_Reading Congratulations on an amazing show at #BTE2015 We will see you in Austin for #BTE2016
#BTE2015 Keynote Panelist @NeelaJacques says "Telecom service providers not prepared for #opensource". Plz check out @MASERGY;we are ready!
Next generation Ethernet will require (and in turn drive demand for) virtualized services. #BTE2015
#BTE2015 Intel @SandraLRivera "Virtualized customer edge brings efficiency but also creates platform for innovation"
@SandraLRivera "My #AppleWatch is potentially a transformative technology on the scale that NFV will be in the WAN" #BTE2015
G.FAST is key for delivery fibre like speed over copper, up to one gigabit in short loops. #BTE2015
#BTE2015 Koley: Google's model is being open sourced and also will be open sourcing their internal line system model for optical networks.
#BTE2015 panelist "America is great at innovation but not at scale". Please tell that to Amazon, Netflix, Facebook, and Apple??? USA! USA!
@CNWEdit #BTE2015 "isn't a bit unsettling if a firmware update changes my car overnight?" #security concerns #IoT
@CNWEdit #BTE2015 "telco's and the auto mfgr's are two of the largest and most stubborn industries... & they will be going head2head soon"
Cisco is hoping to use NFV to move faster and do more. Platforms not products. #BTE2015 @Light_Reading
#BTE2015 The platform trumps physical hardware. No one carries a camera or a map anymore. (Cisco Neike)
#BTE2015 Cisco's Cedrik Neike: today's crossroad is similar to 15 years ago when IP arrived
#BTE2015 AT&T has a scoring system about how virtualized something is. It sounds quite complicated and cumbersome.
#BTE2015 AT&T wants to virtualize five percent this year not including legacy technology like TDM or frame relay.
#BTE2015 AT&T believes that software will be the answer, and NFV will be 75% of AT&T by year 2020.
#BTE2015 traditionally AT&T had to engineer around Mother's Day callvolumes. Nowadays there is no way to predict when binge watching occurs
#BTE2015 #NFV brings security concerns around #hypervisor and API's but also requires a new way of approaching and bifurcating security.
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading Patrick Donegan: "SDN deployments are in infancy. Biggest obstacle is lack of clarity on business case"
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading "if you want to know what service providers will look like in three years, take a tour of the Facebook data center"
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading Saunders: "54% of CSP's have done nothing or are starting POC's; 90% of surveyed changed procurement processes" #NFV
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading Saunders: "first implementations of NFV have had their open source DNA contaminated with vendor proprietary DNA"
#BTE2015 question: "Is five nines availability still relevant in a virtualized network infrastructure- or do we need a new viewpoint?"
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading Traditional network vendors are having to re-invent themselves with a focus on business rather than technology.
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading Per Cisco, half of Cisco's competitors will be gone within ten years. The threats will come from white box.
#BTE2015 @Light_Reading : traffic has doubled since end of 2014. Period of excitement and innovation with "cataclysmic consequences"
#BTE2015 Light Reading conference : we are entering a period or extraordinary and irreversible change
