Open Networking Summit North America 2019

The fusion of edge, cloud and AI technologies holds the key to the vision of moving the Internet and cloud economy to yet untapped market segments as diverse and vast as transportation, industrials, and health care. For this vision to take shape and mature into deployment stage, openness in its key technological building blocks is crucial for the economics and long term health of the resulting systems. In this presentation, Wenjing will use real-life early deployment examples to outline the emerging architecture of the New Intelligent Edge, its main components, and argue for the necessary openness in these technological components and their interfaces. He will also discuss the opportunities for the newly launched LF Edge open source community to play an important role in achieving these ambitious goals towards openness.
