How do I get started?

Service providers are under immense pressure to transform into more agile operators while continuously driving costs out of the business. A more software-centric approach that drives efficiency and dynamically introduces new services with compelling economics will be crucial.

Evaluate

The disaggregated nature of 5G enables service providers to leverage best-of-breed solutions to meet business objectives. Validating these solutions is challenging. And time is of the essence.

Briefing Cisco

Software-Defined Mobile Network Solution Briefing

Mobile operators face an increasingly competitive and demanding business environment in which technology is changing more rapidly than ever, which makes it imperative to implement future proof, end-to-end open network solutions to innovate and compete. The Software-Defined Mobile Network (SDMN) solution is a multi-vendor, software-based end-to-end 4G/5G mobile network that includes Virtualized RAN (Open vRAN), telco cloud infrastructure, transport and mobile core solutions -- each virtualized and residing on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. This briefing -- available for both the Option 2 and Option 7-2x Split RAN architectures-- provides a blueprint for a disaggregated, virtualized, best-of-breed and fully open 4G/5G mobile network. A Cisco transport network is placed in between these data centers to connect these applications together to achieve end-to-end voice and data connectivity for subscribers.

Security Matters Most: Silicon Root of Trust for Infrastructure Security Webinar

Bold measures are required today, says NIST, "As cyber-attacks become more sophisticated, the potential for BIOS or other firmware attacks is growing." Infrastructure and its supply chains must be built on the belief that systems should be the strongest defense, armed with the latest innovations to protect, detect, and recover from security attacks. Just as customers expect and deserve high-quality and reliable products, they should also expect the most secure, scalable, and performant infrastructure in the industry. The Silicon Root of Trust from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has been designated a 2019 Cyber Catalyst cybersecurity solution. It protects against firmware attacks, detects previously undetectable compromised firmware or malware, and helps to rapidly recover the server in the event of an attack.

Edge to Core to Cloud: How HPC & AI Spans this Diverse Technology Ecosystem

The idea of edge computing is that sensor data needs rapid reactions and millisecond-range response times. Edge data sent to the core is used for business insight and immediate action. Core systems need instant operational reaction at the edge. And the cloud is a great place to put transitory workflows and to analyze things that will grow over time. With the number of edge computing devices continuing to grow exponentially year over year, designing IT architectures to capture, process, analyze, and derive deeper insights from that data will be one of the defining challenges of the next decade. And as with most challenges, it also opens exceptional opportunities to drive growth and success.

Public Sector Tech Talk E29: Converting the Edge from Danger Zone to Intelligent Hub

Like their commercial counterparts, public sector entities want to extend their infrastructures and operations to the edge. The term "edge" has become overused and overloaded, and few consumers and technologists genuinely understand it in depth. Many fear the edge due to security concerns or the required changes affecting people, processes, and culture. Those that have adopted edge technology have done so in a fashion that limits its benefits. Simply "storing and ignoring" information without insight or passing all data from the edge back to the core or the cloud – where it degrades network performance and may arrive too late to be relevant – undervalues the edge. To fully get their return on their edge investments, public sector entities must implement "the intelligent edge." During this Public Sector Tech Talk, Hewlett Packard Enterprise joins WWT to explore what that means and how to achieve the objective.

Network Transport With Segment Routing Briefing

As modern networks have grown in complexity and scale, they require more stringent tolerances and demanding services, which has spawned the need for a more straightforward and optimized method of transmitting data. And as 5G becomes more widely adopted, such latency standards will only become more desirable. Moving to a next-generation Network Transport based on Segment Routing enables organizational agility and unprecedented control over network path optimization and end-to-end Service Level Agreements (SLA). This briefing is intended to be used for architecture validation, proofs of concepts (POCs), demonstrations, and functional and interoperability testing.
