Tech Field Day and SDN Central are planning a Software-Defined Datacenter Symposium! This will feature many key figures from the industry and end-user community, and will include discussions of OpenFlow, software-defined networking (SDN), software-defined storage, convergence, and the greater software-defined future!
Note that event capacity is severely constrained. Therefore, we are focusing on end-user implementers and encouraging others to participate online by viewing the live video stream on this page!
Tech Field Day is a regular event that brings together vendors and independent thought leaders to share information and opinions in a presentation and discussion format. Independent bloggers, freelance writers, and podcasters have a public presence that has immense influence on the ways that products and companies are perceived and by the general public.
SDNCentral is the leading centralized source of news and resources for network virtualization and software-defined networking (SDN). Networking hardware is a $40 billion market, and SDN has the potential to drastically change the way hardware is bought and sold. With players in the field starving for information to help them determine how or whether SDN can benefit them, we are a community devoted to sharing information, connecting people, and developing the next generation of networking.
Packet Pushers is a podcast and website focussed on data networking. The weekly podcast reaches a highly technical audience of 3500 network engineers and architects.
Most presentations are streamed live on this page, at env-techfielddayq-test.kinsta.cloud, and on the Tech Field Day LinkedIn page. After the event, the following pages contain video recordings of these presentations.
If you would like to sponsor or attend these events as a delegate, please contact Tech Field Day, info@techfieldday.com.
