Open Networking Summit North America 2018

We’ve learned so much since the advent of NFV 5 years ago. We have live deployments and a global solution (ONAP), and our live-network experience has taught us to use model-driven approaches to reduce human engineering and operation efforts, and also overheads. But can these approaches handle the huge complexities of NFV-related network, technologies and applications – or is autonomous networks the answer?

NFV & Cyber expert Dr Eyal Felstaine played a key role in introducing NFV, and actively continues to shape its direction. In this session, he discusses the network of the near future – designed and operated by humans, but ASSISTED by AI “agents”.From automated operations to service design, AI can reduce management overheads and make operations easier – providing you understand how much (and where) to apply AI to alleviate increases in complexity and associated cyber-security threats
