The ability to compete and succeed
in business is now, more than ever, about empowering employees,
customers and partners with timely information from a multitude of
information sources. But how do you embrace the latest IP
technologies and create a reliable, real-time information
distribution mechanism that can do this? And how do you design your
IP-based solution so it can accept exploding amounts of information
and publish it to larger and larger audiences? What features does
this system need today, what technologies must it embrace and what
problems does the industry still need to solve moving forward? In
his keynote presentation, Vivek Ranadive will explore these
questions and explain the significance and business opportunities in
different vertical markets that flow from scalable content
distribution mechanisms including IP
Multicast.
Over the past 12 months, explosive
IPO's, powerful mergers and heavily-backed start-ups have
underscored the growing significance of intelligent content
distribution systems that move information closer to the information
consumers. Mixing advanced caching mechanisms with load-balancing
techniques, behind-the-scenes routing mechanisms and mathematical
algorithms, new companies have engineered powerful new content
distribution systems that enable better and faster information
delivery. What do they do? How do they work? What benefits do they
bring and what challenges do they face? These questions and more
will be addressed by these pioneers in content engineering in a
lively, interactive session moderated by Martin Hall of
Stardust.com.
The growing deployment of
multicast in and between networks has gathered pace over the past 12
months in enterprise, service provider and core networks. Where does
deployment really stand today? What technology progress has
facilitated this? What new developments and functionality do we need
and can we expect this year? What are we learning about the real
business drivers of multicast? And how do satellite and
content-to-the-edge overlays play in a multicast landscape? Bill
Hawe will address these issues and offer his own vision of progress
for multicast moving forward.
