Today we are going to talk about the things we fear the most...End of life...which we, as network engineers, fear the most. So what do we do about end of life? With DriveNets' Network Cloud you have multiple hardware options, the entire cluster is built upon standard interfaces so it's very easy to replace or to upgrade the cluster with any box that adheres to those interfaces, and you can repurpose boxes in an exhausted cluster without the need for forklift.

So what do we need to know about this move from 400 to 800?  800 is real. It's here, you can almost buy it.   It's a fairly smooth transition, having forward compatibility with the stuff you buy today.  The Network Cloud, the architecture, is agnostic to the interfaces or form factors. 

Today we are going to talk about DNOS, the DriveNets Network Operating System. Why is DNOS important and how it's different than just your ordinary network operating?

Let's talk about  ISSU, In Service Software Updates. What's new and how actually DriveNets can eventually make you upgrade your network without service.

We're going to talk about TIP DDBR, Telecom Infra Project Distributed Disaggregated Backbone Router and the RFI that went out. And hey, we got a ribbon, so we need to talk about it.

Let's talk about optical modulation and some basic features of optics that us networking guys need to know.

Let's about the optics that go into your router.  We're going to talk about ZR and ZR+ and open XR and stuff like that. 
So this is what you need to know about optics coming through the router: longer reach, leaner infrastructure, and lockout or the non lock in nonproprietary open system that allows to choose different vendors for your infrastructure.

Networks today need to scale, requiring more and more capacity. They also need to introduce new services in order to stay competitive and to satisfy the needs of the hungry subscribers. How do we deal with a data tornado?
