Ethernet & SDN Expo 2013

August 13, 2013

Ethernet & SDN Expo is co-locating with Interop New York, the leading event for IT pros and technology providers delivering insight into the future of IT infrastructure and networking, to bring you the world’s largest event targeting BOTH service providers and IT professionals.

Aligning with Interop provides an unprecedented opportunity for leading network solution providers and service providers to take their message of Ethernet, SDN, and cloud service innovation directly to several thousand enterprise end-users and buyers of communications services who regularly attend Interop events.

Light Reading’s Ethernet & SDN Expo will focus on how the convergence of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and emerging carrier software defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) technologies will accelerate the ability of operators to develop and deliver more scalable, dynamic, and customized services and applications more rapidly, over much more efficient networks.

  • A huge community of expert keynote speakers and panelists from fixed and mobile network operators, network solutions providers, enterprises, and standards organizations will discuss their visions, initiatives, requirements, and technology developments that will take the communications services market to a whole new level.
  • We will cover an emerging generation of advanced Ethernet-based and SDN-empowered retail, wholesale, cloud, cloud carrier, cloud broker, and mobile backhaul services and API-driven applications designed to provide the highest quality customer experience increasingly in an on-demand, self-service, tailored fashion.
  • We will explore exciting new carrier SDN/NFV, Carrier Ethernet 2.0, packet optical, network management, sub-system, and component solutions that are becoming available to enable a generational paradigm shift in service creation, delivery, management, and monetization.

Ethernet & SDN Expo 2013 includes two parts: a conference, moderated by analysts from Light Reading’s market research division, Heavy Reading; and an exhibition

Ethernet & SDN Expo 2013 is designed to meet the information needs of service providers and enterprises that are working out what next-generation services and applications to deploy, and what infrastructures will help them do this in the most cost-effective and productive manner. The conference will provide unprecedented networking opportunities for professionals involved in both Carrier Ethernet and SDN communities.
