The Poacher and the Gamekeeper: Synchronization Delivery and AssuranceADVA
At the 2016 Workshop on Synchronization and Timing Systems in San Jose, Ken Hann outlined how, with the right equipment, synchronization delivery and assurance can both be achieved.
This ITSF 2016 presentation from Djamila Duc looks into field-testing to prove the feasibility and performance of small cells and IP RAN as well as the solutions being developed. A major mobile operator in the Middle East is rapidly deploying this technology and is trying optimize the solution by distributing frequency over high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) and IP.
However, reducing the high level of packet delay variation that affects quality is a big challenge. As it is impossible to use SyncE, deep field-testing of Precision Time Protocol over HDSL is required. The adopted solution is a combination that covers the frequency needs for legacy time-division multiplexing and the phase needs for future long-term evolution deployments.
For enterprise software applications and related processes, highly accurate and synchronized time is a necessity. An inaccurate
computer clock can cause significant problems. A discrepancy of a minute or two could cause a significant and unacceptable margin of error, since many applications require that the time be kept accurate to the nearest second or less.
This is the third part of the mini-series of synchronization in the Topics in Digital Communication Presentations.
Timing synchronization is another key component in modem design and implementation. However, this subject, especially its practical aspects, were not covered in details in text books. The materials covered in this presentation are not really new, but discussed in the literature published over past forty years. I hope that putting them in a single slide deck can help people who want to learn more on this subject.

Fernando Nunez's ANDICOM 2016 presentation discusses NFV and SDN and outlines use cases of vE-CPE and SD-WAN. He focuses on how combining these two use cases creates a comprehensive and powerful solution and describes the concept of Ensemble SmartWAN (SD-WAN 2.0).
Proactive fiber monitoring improves service availability, building a strong foundation for extending service offering from residential customers to enterprise connectivity and mobile backhaul. With the ADVA ALM, cable operators gain full visibility of their passive networks so that any fiber degradation is identified even before services are affected. Immediate fault isolation including precise localization of root causes happens in real time without the need for time-consuming onsite visits. This leads to faster repair cycles, which significantly increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cable operators can also offer services with higher availability as they maintain their physical fiber infrastructure with a field services team operating more efficiently.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
