Continuing from last week, let us look at one potential solution to the connectivity problem for the distributed Data Centers at the Edge of the network. A shared infra can provide a cheaper connectivity but with potential compromise that the…

Continuing from last week, let us look at another one of the problems once the Data Centers move to the edge and get distributed. When the connectivity is within the data centers, and the fiber is ample, we do not…

Continuing from last week, let us look at one of the problems once the Data Centers move to the edge and get distributed. The economies of connectivity will change drastically. Implementing a spine leaf architecture within a Datacenter is within…

Continuing from last week, let me explain this week how operators can leverage the edge assets and how they can monetize them. Let me straight away jump at the two keys aspects:- A) As the data processing move to the…

Continuing from last week, let me explain this week as to what is the key reasons that I believe the operators have a good chance. a) A report by Gartner says that 91% of today’s data is created and processed…

Continuing from last week, let us now examine the role that telecom operators can play in the emerging architectures. Operators have had love hate relationships with the webscale organizations (with more hate than love). The genesis lies in the fact…

Continuing from last week. Let us discuss what will happen when these new open 100G and 400G solutions will hit the market in next 12-18 months. But before we think of the transformation, let us acknowledge two facts from research…

Continuing from last week, we will talk about what the webscale companies are doing to get a cheaper 400G optics and to eliminate the transponder layer. The pluggable DCOs have changed the equation in favor of the packet products. By…

Continuing from last week, let us talk about one of the things that the web-scale organizations have been driving very very hard. Their goals are clear. Lower Power Lower Footprint Simplified Architecture – Flat Architecture de-layering dis-aggregation Standardization Simplified management…

Continuing from last week, let us understand what the web-scale guys have been pushing to make a great change in the way the networks are being built. But before we go there let us also understand their area of interest.…
