9 data center programming Free with Exhibits Pass Plus Registration Will the Emergence of SDN Change How Data Centers are Built? Sunday, 20 March, 15:30 18:30 PM Ballroom E ORGANIZERS: Nathan Farrington, Rockley Photonics, USA Guohui Wang, Facebook, USA Attributes of software defined networking (SDN) are beginning to be deployed inside data centers. Will these attributes affect the optics used inside data centers? Will it drive down the cost of optics? Will it compel transceiver manufacturers to implement new software interfaces, and if so, what will these interfaces look like? Will it enable new types of optical circuit switching networks? Are there specific features of SDN that enable these transformations to take place or could the same cost and performance be realized without SDN? Omar Baldonado, Manager Network Team, Facebook, USA Anees Shaikh, Network Architect, Google, USA Nolan Leake, Co-founder, Cumulus Networks, USA David Husak, Founder and CTO, Plexxi Networks, USA James Liao, Founder and CEO, Pica8, USA Carrier Grade SDN Tuesday, 22 March, 11:30 13:00 Expo Theater II, Exhibit Hall B ORGANIZER: Session organized by the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) Since its inception in 2011, ONF has been the principal industry advocate for open Software-Defined Networking (SDN), guided by operators spanning the Data Center, Enterprise, and Carrier/ WAN segments. Over the past year, interest in SDN among Communications Service Providers (CSPs) including carriers, cable MSOs, and cloud operators has been growing, driven by the incredible demands for transport bandwidth, cloud connectivity, and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). ONF has responded by involving industry leaders, Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and open source projects to guide Carrier Grade SDN. Our innovations in Transport SDN especially have garnered considerable enthusiasm in the operator community. In this session, ONF leaders will review ongoing initiatives, including Information Modeling, Transport SDN, SDN Migration, and Security, along with support for a number of open source projects, all aimed at easing adoption in brownfield networks and operationalizing SDN.

Chris Cole, Director, Transceiver Engineering, Finisar, USA Scott Kipp, Director of Engineering, Brocade, USA The Impact of Mega Data Centers on the Industry Supply Chain Thursday, 24 March, 11:00 12:30 Expo Theater III, Exhibit Hall A Vladimir Kozlov, Founder and CEO, LightCounting Market Research, USA Unprecedented demand for servers, switches and optical connectivity in mega data centers created a whole new market segment and restructured the industry supply chain in Has this restructuring been completed by now or is it just the beginning? It is possible that Amazon, Google and Microsoft have already made most of their impact on the industry by now and it will be up to the other operators of mega data venters to lead the industry development? Sanity check Where are we on 25GE and 50GE? Thursday, 24 March, 12:30 14:00 Expo Theater I, Exhibit Hall C Daryl Inniss, Director, New Business Development, OFS, USA In July 2014, as a cost-cutting measure, Microsoft spearheaded the effort to push 25G and 50G devices for server connections within the data center. The first products are supposedly expected in early Some of the questions addressed in this panel will include: What is a realistic timeframe for commercial availability of components and when will they be actually used in networks? What percentage of these connections will be copper versus optical? What will be the key use cases for both data rates? What will be the impact on 10G/40G markets? Where is the business case for the rest of the vendors? If it turns out that 400GE is not around the corner in terms of significant deployment, is there really a necessity for 50GE?
