- OpenStack: Introduction and Project Status
- Tom Fifield
Community Manager, OpenStack Foundation
-
SummarySummary
OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds.
A strong part of that vision is SDN. With the support of networking giants like Cisco, Juniper, Brocade and NEC, OpenStack Networking is shaping up to be a very reasonable solution.
Join this session to get an introduction to what OpenStack is, the parts that make it, and where it's going.
Come and participate in our community, and get your SDN dream cloud running soon!

After learning about scalability in computing from particle physics experiments like ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider, Tom led the creation of the NeCTAR Research Cloud - designed for the publicly-funded research sector in Australia. Part of a $47M government project, it currently serves more than 2500 researchers directly, and is expanding to a capacity of 30,000 cores over 8 sites distributed over every major city.
Following working as a cloud architecture consultant and team lead for several years, Tom is currently harnessing his passion for large scale distributed systems by focusing on their most important part: people. As Community Manager at the OpenStack Foundation it's his job to make the users and developers of OpenStack happy.

- The Goldilocks Zone : Using the virtualization to Bridge the Application/Network Divide
- Martin Casado
VMware, Inc.
CTO-Networking
-
SummarySummary
The network, while providing a core resource needed by applications, has always been hampered by lack of visibility into those applications. The implications of this are significant. Take security for example. Infrastructure-level controls simply don’t have sufficient context about traffic to allow meaningful declarations of policy, instead relying on addresses and ports which are near useless approximations of users, hosts, and applications. In this talk, I will discuss how the hypervisor is in a unique position to bridge the divide between the application and the network. I will cover classic issues in performance, security, and operations and management and show how the hypervisor’s proximity to the application can help address these issues in a way that is unattainable by traditional networking.

SummarySummary
We are a few years into this technological revolution called “Software Defined Networking”. In this session we will discuss the progress that we’ve made, as well as where today’s SDN solutions fall short. Then we will introduce a powerful Policy Driven approach to networking that allows for abstraction of network services into a model that is simple for DevOps and Cloud teams to consume. Finally, we will discuss industry activities that are driving standards for Policy Driven Software Defined Networking.

SummarySummary
2013 marked the start of SDN moving out of the hype cycle and into reality and execution. Whether you are a Service Provider or an Enterprise, productivity and agility are still the key goals: how can SDN benefit your company today and how do you make that transition to the future.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of SDN has been its ability to move networking into the cloud era and not serve as a barrier to business agility. It has become more important as organizations look to build highly scalable virtual networks that connect distributed data centers and clouds quickly and at scale.

Palo Alto Networks
Chief Security Officer (CSO)

SummarySummary
With all of the negative press about how weak the collective good-guy cyber defenses are, there is reason to hope. Today I discuss four cyber security innovations that not only work but will fundamentally change how we will all do our jobs in the future. Some of our community are leaning forward with these ideas and showing us the way. They are teaching us how to transform our tactical Incident Response teams into strategic intelligence organizations. They are changing our old-school thinking of deploying tactical signature defenses into the more modern Kill-Chain and Indicators-of-Compromise methodology. They are changing how we do perimeter defense. And, they are breaking new ground on how to share threat indicator information between peers.
