MWC 2015 – TCP Opt for Service Providers (feat Yue)

Frank Yue, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager, visits again to talk about the unique challenges service providers face in managing mobile data traffic. As more devices are generating more traffic, congestion can create bottlenecks on a carrier’s network. Service providers need to manage and properly deliver that traffic efficiently to subscribers. Frank explains that TCP was not really designed for today’s networks but F5 can certainly help in optimizing TCP traffic in the SGi Network for a better subscriber experience.

MWC 2015 - SDN Demystified (feat Duncan)

With an industry full of TLAs (three letter acronyms) Richard Duncan, Sr. Manager Systems Engineering, gives a wonderful explanation of SDN using the universal TV remote example. In this fun interview, Richard demystifies SDN and explains how SDN allows organizations to select best of breed technologies and the SDN overlay allows those components to seamlessly work together just like when you push ‘Watch DVD’ on the universal remote…it turns on the Toshiba monitor, the Sony DVD and the Denon receiver to allow the user to simply click one button and have everything work together. After watching this video, anyone can relate to SDN.
