Kelly Herrell, VP & GM Software Business Unit, Brocade

Today's network environment bears no resemblance to the original legacy one, with cloud, big data and IoT all ushering in a new era of networking, driven by SDN and NFV. The network is becoming more agile, by decoupling hardware from software and moving into a software-influenced architecture, leading to new ways to deploy and provision networks.

For example, CPE is a leading problem with efficiencies for telcos. If you can take this end-point service functionality and employ it in modern data centres, using NFV, then you could better monetise your network. SDN sits a level above this, controlling the complexity in the network.
