      SESSION III 數據中心和雲端的網路自動化  
         
    09.00 Data Center Network Virtualization Optimization  
      Enterprise and Service Provider Data Centers are aggressively moving from lightly utilized servers running a few Virtual Machines (VMs) to optimized servers running many VMs.  The latter requires network virtualization to be fully automated and simple.  It also requires network feedback into the server's virtualization infrastructure.  

Speaker from IBM
 
         
    09.30 Cloud Computing: A New Angle on Configuration Control  
        The effects of the Cloud computing revolution have been unmistakable across all IT disciplines, and the network is no exception.
