WHY ATTEND? MAKE CONNECTIONS, SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND BUILD BEST PRACTICE Wide-area networks lie at the heart of today’s most important enterprise IT trends, such as cloud services, virtualisation, collaboration, and big data. While conferences on each of these themes abound, few opportunities exist to explore the networks that deliver these applications, or the wave of change in network requirements, technologies, and designs that are sweeping the industry. To that end, we launched the WAN Summit, to bring together corporate WAN strategists and service provider executives to discuss common challenges, gain new perspectives, and to build business relationships with potential suppliers, customers, and peers. No other event offers comparable opportunities for meaningful interaction between the providers and buyers of enterprise network services.

BRINGING TOGETHER ENTERPRISE BUYERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS TO EXPLORE STRATEGIES AND BEST PRACTICES FOR THE CLOUD-ENABLED WAN Expert insight from:  Pearson on replacing MPLS with Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) as their primary WAN transport technology  Adidas on their strategy for shifting WAN traffic to broadband Internet  Johnson & Johnson about breaking local access bottlenecks  Technip on their approach to global network procurement  Cisco on the key current use cases for WAN optimisation technologies in enterprise networks  Takeda Pharmaceutical on how cloud services can reduce costs and improve IT flexibility  Zurich Insurance on the transformation of their global WAN

CONFERENCE AGENDA Day 1 – 7th October 2015 8:30 Registration & Refreshments 9:00

Opening Remarks from the Chair

Stephan Beckert, VP Strategy, TELEGEOGRAPHY

9:10 Keynote Presentation: The changing role of the WAN - matching WAN networks to shifting business needs Corporate WAN managers must design networks and enter into multi-year service contracts that satisfy current user needs, and that can also be adapted to meet their future requirements. Their balancing act is complicated by the constantly changing set of applications used by their colleagues, and by the ongoing evolution of networking technologies. This opening keynote will provide perspectives on the evolution of enterprise applications and network technologies, and their implications for corporate network planners and service providers. • What are the key applications that shape corporate network requirements? • How are service providers helping customers to meet these requirements? • Are there any emerging technologies that can help address these challenges?

Speaker to be confirmed

9:30 Panel Discussion: Traffic detours shifting network traffic to the internet Many organisations are seeking to shift a growing share of their corporate data traffic off of their private network to the “public” Internet, not just to reduce costs, but often also to improve performance. This panel discussion will explore the opportunities and potential challenges of this transition. • In what circumstances does it make sense to shift corporate traffic to the Internet? • What types of traffic are particularly well suited to transmission via the Internet? What types of traffic are not well suited to this approach? • What pitfalls can organisations encounter when seeking to move corporate traffic to the Internet? • What share of traffic can organisations shift to the Internet. How do network managers balance performance versus cost savings? • Lessons learned and best practice: What has been the experience of organisations that have made the transition? Moderator: Erik Kreifledt, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Andy Johnson, Managing Director, EMEA / APAC, GTT Mark Bennett, Head of Fixed Connectivity Products, VODAFONE GROUP ENTERPRISE Mike Wood, VP, Marketing, VELOCLOUD Remco Brakenhoff, Interim Supplier Manager, AHOLD

11:30 Panel Discussion: How the cloud is changing the enterprise network Cloud services have been hailed for their potential to reduce costs and improve IT flexibility by centralising applications and consolidating resources. However, to capture these potential long-term savings, many organisations must first make substantial near-term investments in network infrastructure. This session will explore common challenges experienced in adapting corporate networks to access cloud platforms, and steps that network planners can take to smooth the process and maximise the return on their network investments. • What common networking challenges do companies encounter when they expand their use of cloud services? • How do network designs for cloud centric organisations differ from traditional WAN designs? • What near-term fixes can networks teams implement to improve cloud connectivity, without having to undertake a more extensive network redesign? • How do the design considerations for connecting to public and private cloud services differ? • How can organisations ensure QoS and security of data and traffic when connecting to cloud services? Moderator: Robert Schult, Research Director, TELEGEOGRAPHY Leon Chang, Director of Strategy & Innovation, AT&T GLOBAL SERVICES Chris Argent, Director, Global Finance & Commerce Practice, HUDSON & YORKE Dave Fraleigh, Head of Customer Success, THOUSAND EYES Marcel Koenig, Global Category Manager, IT Infrastructure, Network & Telecommunications, TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICAL

12:10 Case Study: The internet is my WAN Moderator: Brianna Boudreau, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY David Ferguson, VP Communications Technology, PEARSON

12:30 Networking Lunch 14:00 P anel Discussion: WAN security - balancing safety with connectivity Security concerns about networks have grown exponentially in recent years. This session will explore the implications of network security for WAN planning, and vice versa.

10:10 C ase Study: Augmenting the WAN with broadband internet Moderator: Erik Kreifledt, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Alberto Pedraz, Senior Director IT, Global Connectivity & Workplace, ADIDAS GROUP

10:30 Morning Coffee Break & Dedicated Networking 11:10 WAN Evolution: Hybridising the WAN

Robert Schult, Research Director, TELEGEOGRAPHY

• How do hybrid networks and the use of mobile devices and applications affect network security? • Can organisations ensure a uniform WAN security model when procuring services from multiple providers? • Is it possible to ensure WAN security without impairing network or application performance? • Are there risks associated with emerging technologies such as SDN?

Moderator: Brianna Boudreau, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Gérôme Billois, Senior Manager, SOLUCOM

14:40 Cost considerations for hybrid WANs

Greg Bryan, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY

CONFERENCE AGENDA 15:30 Panel Discussion: The past, present and future of WAN optimisation WAN optimisation emerged in the early 2000s as a key means of improving performance of applications over wide-area networks while rationing high-cost WAN bandwidth. Much has changed over the past decade. This panel discussion will explore how WAN optimisation is changing. • What are the key current use cases for WAN optimisation technologies in enterprise networks? • What is the interplay between “classic” appliance-based WAN optimisation technologies and more recently introduced WAN optimisation as a service techniques? • How might SDN and SD-WAN affect WAN optimisation? • Is there a role for WAN optimisation in improving connectivity to public cloud services that are accessed over the Internet? Moderator: Greg Bryan, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Keith Langridge, VP Connect Portfolio, BT GLOBAL SERVICES Chalan Aras, VP and General Manager, CloudBridge Networking, CITRIX Frank Lyonnet, Deputy CTO, RIVERBED TECHNOLOGY Dipesh Patel, Senior Network Architect, CISCO

9:10 Keynote Address: Fifth generation IT: moving towards software defined WANs

Ray Watson, CTO, MASERGY

9:30

anel Discussion: The weakest link - the local P access challenge

Local loops are the shortest links in organisations’ global networks, but they account for a vastly disproportionate share of network managers’ headaches. Common complaints include prohibitively high costs, long delivery times, and limited technical options. • How do local access service availability and costs shape or constrain organisations’ WAN strategies? • Have there been any meaningful improvements in local access markets in recent years?

• What role can fixed and mobile wireless networks play in delivering local network connectivity? • Are there any technical innovations that can help organisations to mitigate the limitations of local access networks? Moderator: Greg Bryan, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Gilles Deworm, Senior Technology Manager, Network Connectivity, JOHNSON & JOHNSON Mark Sheard, Managing Director, TECHCALIBER Catherine Lucas, CEO, NAVIGACOM

10:10 Case Study: Procuring Technip’s Global WAN Moderator: Brianna Boudreau, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Guillaume Turpin, Group Telecom Manager, TECHNIP

10:30 Morning Coffee Break & Dedicated Networking Panel Discussion: The promise and the reality of 11:10 SDN and NFV SDN and NFV have been among the most widely discussed networking technology trends of recent years, but how and when these technologies will influence corporate WAN designs and management can still be murky. This panel will review the state of NFV and SDN deployment by carriers and enterprises, and examine the practical implications for corporate WANs. • How mature are SDN and NFV technical standards and vendors technologies? • What real-world enterprise WAN problems can SDN and NFV help to solve, and what are the most common near-term use cases for enterprises? What are the limitations of SDN and NFV? • What are the implications of SDN and NFV for local access networks — and vice versa?

Moderator: Erik Kreifeldt, Senior Analyst, TELEGEOGRAPHY Tom Homer, Head of EMEA & Americas, TELSTRA Ray Watson, CTO, MASERGY

11:50 Panel Discussion: 2020 foresight - the future of workplace networks We are at the beginning of a period of sweeping change in the corporate networks sector driven by the rise of cloud services, the emergence of new networking technologies and changes in user devices, applications and behaviours. This panel will explore the implications of these developments. • What will corporate networks look like in 2020? • What technologies will be in widespread use? • How will architectures change and adapt to demands of BYOD and the consumerisation of IT? Will network technologies differ in emerging markets? • How will companies approach networking contracting? Moderator: Robert Schult, Research Director, TELEGEOGRAPHY Dominique Chappuis, Senior VP, Network Services & Logistics, OPEN SYSTEMS Jérôme Dilouya, CEO, INTERCLOUD
