Take Control of Your Edge Cloud Network with “Platform X 2025” – Sponsored by Ciena
The enterprise shift to a cloud-native environment is driving an evolution in how enterprises access data and digital applications. The traditional approach to individually managed network functions, and virtualizing functions on uCPE, is giving way to virtual network functions in the near edge cloud. But in this environment, how do enterprise network teams ensure orchestration, visibility, and control of cloud-based network workloads? How can they reduce the complexity and potential cost of moving network functions into the edge cloud? Join our panel discussion to hear how “platform X 2025”, a cloud-based, universal infrastructure platform powered by Ciena’s Distributed Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure software stack provides you the visibility and control of virtualized or containerized network functions via open-source platforms like Kubernetes Clusters. Our panelists will share insights and real-world examples of how to leverage a “Platform X 2025” approach to normalize, simplify, and assure network functions in an edge cloud environment.
