Together Intel, Mirantis and SoftLayer demonstrate how Intel Trusted Execution Technology, attestation and automation can enhance hybrid cloud security
The document discusses how networking and interconnection are evolving. Some key points of evolution include:
- Cloud services and internet exchange points are becoming major drivers of network evolution through SDN, NFV, and changing economics and enterprise needs. They provide connectivity and platforms to build new services.
- The traditional network edge is expanding to include cloud service providers and embedded caching capabilities. Software is playing a larger role in how networks are designed, managed, and operated.
- Interconnection landscapes and economics are changing. Networks will need to learn new skills like coding to manage and operate software-defined networks in the future.
The document discusses Brocade's Virtual Cluster Switching (VCS) technology. In 3 sentences:
VCS logically collapses network layers, allowing a fabric of switches to be managed and deployed as a single logical chassis. It eliminates the need for the Spanning Tree Protocol, improves performance and scalability for data centers, and supports services like storage convergence, virtualization, and high availability. Brocade VCS provides a true Ethernet fabric using technologies like TRILL and DCB to deliver lossless, deterministic networking without STP limitations.
Software is increasingly powering technological innovation and disrupting traditional industries as more aspects become software-defined. Mobile data usage continues rising rapidly, driven mainly by video. The internet economy is advancing towards a service-centric model. Software-defined networking aims to make networks more programmable through logical abstractions, enabling new capabilities like traffic engineering and dynamic configuration. However, distributed systems and concurrency present challenges to scaling that require ongoing research.
Comparing Open Source SDN Controllers, like OpenDaylight, OpenContrail, and ONOS is a challenge. Here, we’ll compare open source SDN Controllers. In a software-defined network (SDN), the SDN Controllers is the “brains” of the network. It is the strategic control point in the SDN network, relaying information to the switches/routers ‘below’ (via southbound APIs) and the applications and business logic ‘above’ (via northbound APIs).

SDN is an approach to networking that provides a high-level abstraction of the network. The primary driver for SDN is the need for network agility to keep up with server virtualization. Wide-scale successful deployments of SDN emerged in 2015. SDN originated from research in the 1990s on active networks and control-data separation in the 2000s. By the 2010s, OpenFlow and network operating systems struck a balance to enable real-world SDN deployments. Google and REANZZ have implemented SDN in their networks using OpenFlow and open source SDN controllers like OpenDaylight and ONOS. The next frontier for SDN is enabling inter-domain routing and securely accessing cloud and Saa

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
