Containers Networking - Experience Kits and Technology Overview
Intel has been working with partners and with open source communities to address barriers to commercial containers-networking adoption and to deliver consumable capabilities concerning configuration, manageability, performance, service-assurance, and resilience. The container bare metal experience kits are a set of collateral introducing the newly developed open sourced consumable capabilities. The collection of all the container bare metal experience kits creates a library of best practice guidelines to address containers-bare-metal networking development and deploy-ability gaps. It includes a variety of documents and demonstrations targeting developers, product leads, and a sales and marketing audience. In this talk, you will learn about the networking technologies delivered by Intel and partners, the experience kits that support these technologies and where you can go to download the collateral to support you.

Network Data Encryption: The Key to Cloud Security
Ensuring secure access into cloud infrastructure is the best defence for cloud computing. Modern cloud services must accommodate any-any connectivity amongst a wide range of devices, applications and third parties across the Internet and other communication channels. Network encryption provides essential intrinsic protection for cloud services and is mandated in many laws and regulations. Today’s network encryption devices must handle intensive encryption algorithms, operate across a diverse range of cloud architectures and connectivity and be future proof against emerging threats. In this session Stan Mesceda and Julian Fay will discuss the importance of providing encrypted network access into cloud environments and give strategies for managing the security of cloud environments today and into the future using the Thales HSE product family.

Architect Your Advantage: Expert Hour on Network Agility
As cloud-based infrastructure becomes more prevalent, data traffic will rise, and the volume of devices and endpoints will increase exponentially. However, problems arise when legacy networks don’t have the agility to scale quickly or cost-effectively. In this session we will: - Examine how and why businesses need to modernize their network architecture to deal with unpredictability and adjust to sudden market shifts - Provide real world examples of how other companies are updating their infrastructures for greater agility, security and performance

Edge Convergence of Fixed and Mobile Network Services
The wide usage of Cloud Computing has hastened the convergence of Internet and Cloud Technologies. Increase in demand of ‘Everything-as-a-Service’ are creating tremendous pressure on conventional hardware based service gateways, that are finding it difficult to meet the demands of cloud scaling and convergence of services delivery. Additionally with the proliferation of OTT players, Telcos and DTH providers are feeling the heat of diminishing services revenues calling for  solutions that could enable commercially viable service innovation and accelerate consumer adoption. Increasing demand on service personalization and consistent multi-device experience is accelerating the demand on providers to seek ways to converge their disparate Access networks to meet this demand while staying profitable. This is only possible through extensive multi-dimension insight into the customers network and the ability to dynamically program the network as per user experience. In this webinar, we intend to share a few key factors that we believe could  positively influence this seamless digital transformation like :   · How effectively can access/edge convergence help in orchestrating service delivery and creating uniform user experience · How can Telcos and OTTs co exist without impacting their revenue plans  · How can DTH providers who are also ISPs make use of edge convergence and attain best of both worlds · How could 5G be really about converged, interworking networks than today’s “little bigger 4G" · How could Network slicing be made more realistic for MSOs and VNOs · How could today’s pseudo SD-WAN deployments by Telcos be made more realistic · How we make use of Intel’s NEV stack to implement edge convergence gateway.

Optimizing Networks for Delivering New FinServ Customer Experiences
The pandemic set off a major shift in the way banking is done, signaling a rapid uptick in digital transactions and virtual customer services. In a short time, consumers have shown a preference for these streamlined experiences, with fewer in-person interactions and an array of digital options. The pace of banking is accelerating elsewhere, with instant financial transactions, faster delivery of capital through lending platforms, vast reductions in paperwork, and virtual financial management. As the financial services customer experience continues to shift, organizations need to position their networks to better power it. Underlying new CX must be robust infrastructure, connectivity, and security that enable seamless operations regardless of external circumstances. Using SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network), wireless, managed network services, and more can position FinServ organizations for success in the long haul. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the ways which networks and technology can be enhanced to meet challenges of the ever-evolving financial services customer experience. Key takeaways will include: •changes and innovations in the FinServ customer experience, including new technologies and engagement platforms; •the need to be proactive in security efforts, incorporating a security-first strategy that includes AI and Machine Learning and other technologies to proactively counteract cybercriminals and thwart fraud; and •the key technologies—such as SD-WAN—that underpin resilient FinServ networks and optimize the customer experience now and in the long term.
