Cloud services are experiencing unprecedented growth across all vertical markets. But as they grow, there are numerous issues that can impact cloud computing performance and the affect on the network. This session will examine some of the various points within the cloud where telecommunications factors can impact cloud performance. Speakers also will share insights into the latest cloud-based infrastructure and technologies that can improve operational efficiency and discuss accelerating service providers' abilities to offer an enhanced multimodal user experience with HD voice and video as a way to boost brand loyalty and service revenues. In addition, the practical applications of software defined networking (SDN) technology for planning, managing and verifying network services also will be reviewed.

This first-of–a-kind, two-hour mini-event will reveal how Ethernet access services are enabling a wide group of service providers to capitalize on market opportunities and build new revenue streams. Triggered by recent Carrier Ethernet developments known as CE 2.0, attendees will learn how buying and selling wholesale Ethernet Services can be simplified and accelerated, how key vertical market applications are enabled and gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of the services and technologies involved.

Data demands on wireless networks are exploding, growing at more than 90 percent a year, according to a July 2012 IEEE report. One of the biggest challenges facing Wireless Service Providers (WSP) is determining how to bring additional capacity to a market that demands a fixed Internet experience whether they are in their office, walking around a campus or on a congested highway. To address this challenge, more and more WSP’s are turning to small cell deployments to solve critical coverage issues and as a cost effective way to enhance the capacity of their networks. This session will explore the WSP ecosystem for small cell deployments and discuss the business opportunity and service offerings for backhaul providers to support the small cell deployments planned for the next 24 months.
