#TC3Summit Stages Of NFV - HP CTO
Description
Fireside Chat: 4 Stages of NFV: An innovation engine
It’s no secret that the current monolithic CSP network infrastructure model can’t be maintained – it’s too expensive to manage the ever-rising data loads, and is too cumbersome to quickly enable the new services CSPs need to implement in order to stay competitive. The solution, as designed by the CSPs themselves, is NFV. NFV isn’t a single solution at any point in time. NFV will evolve in stages – each stage will drive more innovation and faster delivery of applications and services. In this session, Dr. Prodip Sen will show us how these stages represent a sequence of network technology innovations, and give us an update on the progress of the industry.

Dr. Prodip Sen is currently Chief Technology Officer of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) at HP, where he is responsible for the technology strategy and industry engagement for the NFV business unit. His current focus is to foster the generation of solutions and techniques that will accelerate the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches in service provider networks. Dr. Sen is part of the core group of individuals who have been instrumental in creating the NFV industry movement, and continue to energize the industry and push its boundaries. This included authoring the oft-quoted white paper that called the industry to action in the cause of NFV, and creating a major industry forum - the ETSI Industry Specification Group on Network Functions Virtualization (ETSI NFV ISG) - to address the issues raised by the white paper. He served as the first Chair of this forum from January 2013 to July 2014, and is still active in helping set the strategic direction for its activities. Dr. Sen and his industry colleagues have recently created a new industry activity to help accelerate the implementation of software and platforms for NFV – Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV). This is an open source activity hosted under the Linux Foundation, which will leverage existing open source projects to create a reference platform for NFV. Dr. Sen is currently Chair of the Board of Directors for OPNFV. He is a former board member of the Open Networking
