Topic: Networking 3.0
Speaker: Bikash Koley, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Juniper Networks

Over the last decade, networking has seen some fundamental shifts. Much of that has been driven by how network is consumed today by users and applications. Network’s evolution from a rigid, human-driven, connectivity mechanism to a programmable, self-driving and intent-drive infrastructure continues. Bikash is going to share his experience of the past decade in building such a self-driving network at Google and how he sees this evolution only accelerating in every enterprise and service provider networks going forward. Bikash will put into perspective some of the leading technologies that are disrupting networking today. For instance, does disaggregation end with white box, or are there other opportunities to separate traditionally tightly-integrated technology components? How do monitoring and programmability ultimately have to come together to support highly automated infrastructure leveraging DevOps ambitions and event-driven infrastructure? How does security change when policy and control extend well beyond a single domain? Bikash has a practitioner’s view of what is important, what is different, and what should be leveraged in embracing Networking 3.0.
