I believe that #SDN and #NFV constitute the biggest step-change in the networking industry since Ethernet first left Xerox PARC 40 years ago

Turns out we missed a few of our colleagues who are the @Juniper_UK #jnprtech2019 partner event as they were busy taking their Juniper exams! - Here is the whole motley crew!

Vendor exam question: "You want to configure a new #OSPF area, but it can't connect directly to your backbone area. What should you do?"... Err, step away from the CLI and ask your colleagues to punch you for considering using virtual links? Or multiple areas for that matter...

The march of 5G is unstoppable - and NFV & SDN are the stomach the army will march upon: https://t.co/GwpyzRyeN7 #5G #carriersworld

[Infradata @InfradataUK]

72% of organisations have improved IT security, but the cybercriminals still have the edge:

369 days. Not too shabby uptime on this @OpenContrail server. Workhorse of our #SDN & #NFV Demos at @InfradataUK

Planning the #Juniper EMEA Tech Summit #JNPRTech2017. Still in July and we are heading off to Madrid this year. Viva Espana! :-)

Starting deployment of a new #Juniper core network in the heart of #London, after coffee of course! @JuniperNetworks @Juniper_UK @Infradata

@IPv6Freely @daveehumphrey @ClisbyDavid @recoveringtechy Mostly OK. A few weird ones, and a few I still can't find the answers to!

[Alex Walker @NetworkedAlex]

@IPv6Freely @daveehumphrey @ClisbyDavid @recoveringtechy I didn't Chris. I just gave it a punt on the basis I work with the tech lots :)

[Recovering Techy @recoveringtechy]

Woohoo! Just won Deal of the Year with @F5NetworksEMEA for a hybrid WAF solution that is protecting our customer. 😃 #F5_PF

[Recovering Techy @recoveringtechy]

Woohoo! Just won "Deal of the year" at the #junipersummit - well done to all the @InfradataUK team who have helped make us a success!

@thedataplumber yeah, was down with a cold. I'm at the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona

VNFs signalling TE paths via Neutron to your WAN #SDN controller? With the best will in the world, still a little way off #OpenStackSummit

[Alex Walker @NetworkedAlex]

#CERN have 190,000 cores running 22,000 instances... and they've coded their own Neutron Plugin! #Impressive #OpenStackSummit #SDN
