CEWC Key Theme Viewpoint – Automation in the Packet World
Is control plane technology ready for IP & Ethernet?
We will be broadcasting on Thursday 10th September 2009 at 11.00 BST, London.
Join us to evaluate the business case for enabling automation and intelligence in the network, including expert views on the following questions:
• Who is already using Control Plane automation and for what applications?
• How has Control Plane automation already improved the economics of networking?
• How will Control Plane automation develop in the future - what are the benefits for operators who embrace a convergence of control functions between optical, IP and switching layers?
Hear how Ciena are opening up new options for operators with their upcoming portfolio of control plane based products including the CN 4200 and the CoreDirector Family and Ethernet and OTN functionality. As more and more customers embrace flexible optical networks, we'd also like to hear your views and experiences of network efficiency and cost savings, in our post discussion Q&A session.
