Pierre Bichon, Product Manager for Telco Cloud Solutions, Juniper Networks

Rob Wilmoth, Chief Architect, North America Service Providers, Red Hat

Communications service providers are investing in cloud technologies to transform their businesses and take advantage of new growth opportunities around 5G, digital media, IoT and other new markets. However, the speed of transformation has been slow as service providers have faced obstacles building telco cloud technologies due to a lack of in-house skills. Frustrated with the cost and delay of self-integrating a cloud stack, CSPs have often reverted to vertically integrated software stacks custom built for specific VNFs. These vertical stacks are a stop-gap "band aid" fix but do not deliver the long-term strategic value of well designed telco cloud infrastructure. To solve this problem, Juniper and Red Hat have teamed up to create Contrail Cloud, a completely pre-integrated, OpenStack-based, horizontal telco cloud offering, that simplifies cloud design, deployment and operations.

Join this webinar to learn how to achieve:

Faster time to market – by leveraging a turnkey solution that expedites service design and lifecycle management.
Always-on services – with comprehensive visualization and remediation that automates virtualized and containerized network functions.
Simplified operations – using DevOps processes and open source tools for CI/CD, testing, and maintenance
