Is the Public Cloud Really Eating OpenStack's Lunch?

We've all read the news how AWS is making all other clouds irrelevant, and the naysayers around private cloud. But the research data and customer implementation reality just do not match that hype. What is the truth about public versus private versus hybrid cloud? What are customers really trying to do, and how does OpenStack fit in? This session will answer those questions and more.

Date: Monday, May 21

Time: 2:20 - 3:00 p.m.

Speaker: Margaret Dawson, vice president of product marketing-technical-global, Red Hat

Red Hat Network Functions Virtualization solution.

 

Red Hat OpenStack Platform is the foundation upon which all other telco projects are built. Virtualized network functions, containerized services and software defined networking all rely on Red Hat’s NFV Solution which is based on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.

Multi-Access Edge Computing:

• Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is gaining momentum and importance in communication service provider’s digital transformation plans. There are several use cases that can be applied to the Virtual Central Office model developed and demonstrated last year at OPNFV, but four have come to the forefront, namely: vCPE, SD-WAN, mobile and headend virtualization. Join Red Hat’s Chief Technologist, Global Service Provider, Ian Hood, for a discussion of how the modern Telco is adopting open source in it’s digital transformation projects.

 

Red Hat OpenShift on Red Hat OpenStack Platform:

As OpenShift gains importance in telco, OpenStack is adapting to help deliver the infrastructure needs of containerized workloads. Make sure to attend our training session on how to deploy OpenShift and OpenStack in production.
