Jacob Nielsen, CEO
David J. Rodgers, Teledyne LeCroy
Sr. Program Manager-SAN and Ethernet Analysis Tools at Teledyne LeCroy.
READY FOR TERABIT ETHERNET?
PRESENTER: David J. Rodgers, Teledyne LeCroy
We’re Ethernet nerds and fascinated by the “next big thing” – which right now is how to make the jump to 800Gbps / 1.6Tbps.
So we invited David J. Rodgers to lead a discussion on the next hop in speed for Ethernet and what it means for the engineers who need to build the equipment needed to make it a reality.
David has extensive experience defining, designing, and deploying USB, IEEE1394, Storage Area Network, PCIe, and additional serial connectivity solutions across a broad range of products and vertical markets. He is also a Board Member of the Ethernet Alliance and the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA).
SESSION STARTS:

FROM SCRIPT TO CI – AUTOMATION AS A SOFTWARE PROJECT
PRESENTER: Yoram Shamir, Software Expert for Automation & Infrastructure
Test automation has evolved far beyond engineers manually running ad-hoc scripts.
Satisfying the requirements of today’s advanced development standards requires automation frameworks that support complex test scenarios run by Continuous Integration (CI) tools over sophisticated setups provided by Lab-as-a-Service (LaaS) engines, producing daily reports.
Achieving this means approaching automation as a full blown software project.
In this presentation Yoram will present actual case studies to explain:
– the difference between “automation scripts” and “automation frameworks”
– why building a framework makes sense
– how to use Xena’s APIs to integrate their chassis into an automation framework

SD-WAN BENCHMARKING – The “Why” and the “How”
PRESENTER: Kevin Tolly, Founder & CEO of Tolly Group
SD-WANs are the future of business networking and are relevant to service providers, enterprises and even small-medium businesses. SD-WANs are built of a combination of LAN switching and WAN routing hardware with a sophisticated software overlay. They are proprietary by nature – no two SD-WANs will perform the same way. Thus, it is essential they SD-WANs be benchmarked.
Fortunately, knowledge that you’ve built up benchmarking enterprise and SP networks can, and should, be readily applied to SD-WANs. Switch benchmarking can be used to determine the raw processing capabilities of SD-WAN nodes. Impairment testing can be used to determine the effectiveness of remediation capabilities. Firewall testing can be used to determine the impact of SASE security capabilities on overall performance.
In this presentation, Kevin will provide guidance on essential benchmarking for today’s growing SD-WAN environment.
SESSION STARTS:
18.00 CET
(9.00 West Coast USA / 12 noon East Coast USA / 17.00 UK / 21.30 Mumbai / Midnight Hong Kong)
