Transforming Network and Data Center to Enable the Digital Future (Room 225-227)

This workshop will review the advantages of software defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) to future-proof the interconnection environment. Shaw will detail its new hyperscale cloud data center in Calgary, which involved a shift from low-density DWDM to coherent optics. The discussion will include a deep-dive on error-free bandwidth, scalability/density, operational simplicity and cost effectiveness. Telecom Argentina – part cable, part telco – will explain how it is merging two disparate and diverse networks, as it examines its 5G future. The talk will focus on the transformation of the IP and optical backbone architecture and technologies for the next five years and beyond.
