WHO:
|
|
|
Khalid Raza, CTO and co-founder, Viptela, is a former Distinguished
Engineer at Cisco and widely regarded as a visionary in the
networking industry. In a career spanning more than 20 years, Khalid
has played an instrumental role in architecting the network
infrastructure for Fortune 100 companies and Global Tier-1 carriers.
|
|
WHAT:
|
|
|
In "WAN Security: Balancing Safety with Connectivity", Khalid will
join other panelists to discuss why security vulnerabilities are of
greater concern in hybrid WAN infrastructures and how Software
Defined Networking (SDN) can be used to implement:
|
|
|
|
|
-- A uniform WAN security model across services from multiple
providers that exceeds the security capabilities of traditional MPLS
networks.
|
|
|
|
-- A multidimensional, "zero-trust" WAN security strategy that
combines authentication, encryption, segmentation and
service-chaining.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a second session, entitled "Foresight: The Future of Workplace
Networks" Khalid and other panelists will explore anticipated shifts
in corporate networks over the next five years precipitated by cloud
computing, BYOD and the consumerization of IT, including:
|
|
|
|
|
-- The migration away from network -focused intelligence to an
integrated strategy of network and application intelligence to
better manage large-scale shifts in traffic patterns
|
|
|
|
-- The emergence of new infrastructure-less, hybrid-WAN service
providers

About the WAN Summit Wide-area networks lie at the heart of
today's most important enterprise IT trends, such as cloud services,
virtualization, collaboration, and big data. While conferences on each
of these themes abound, few opportunities exist to explore the networks
that deliver these applications, or the wave of change in network
requirements, technologies, and designs that are sweeping the industry.
The WAN Summit brings together corporate WAN strategists and service
providers to spark ideas, gain new perspectives, and initiate
conversations with suppliers, customers, and peers. The WAN Summit takes
place twice annually, in London and New York.
