Keynote Descriptions
* Content Delivery: A New World ofTechnology, Business & Value-Added Services
Z. Alan Fink,Sr. Vice President & General Manager, Adero & Jim Ricotta,Senior Director, Marketing Cisco Systems
Moving content around the Internet effectively and delivering the highest quality experience for information consumers has become an imperative for every Internet-driven organization. To align a growing number of technologies, products and services, and to accelerate the number of opportunities for participants in this new market, industry heavyweights have recently formed two new alliances: The Content Bridge Alliance and The Content Alliance. Forging new Internet standards, removing market barriers and creating new business opportunities are at the heart of these groups' activities. How should content be delivered and managed to provide the highest quality of service? What related services, technologies and peering agreements need to be addressed? Al Fink (Adero) and Jim Ricotta (Cisco Systems), founding members respectively of the Content Bridge Alliance and Content Alliance, will present their views on the technology and business challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for content providers, service providers and information consumers who lie on the content distribution value-chain
* Internet Infrastructure: Why We Can't Just Paint Over the Cracks
Judy Estrin, Chief Executive Officer, Packet Design, Inc.
The Internet continues to require advances in traffic management, scalability, performance and sophisticated content routing and management capabilities. But an increasing number of new Internet products and services are based on proprietary and/or point solutions that do not have the openess or scalability inherent in the original IP architecture. What long term implications do these approaches have for the future of the Internet? Do they undermine the traditional homogeneity of the Internet? Why, or should we care? And what do we need to do about it? In this keynote, Judy Estrin will address these questions and more and offer her own prescriptions for the long term health of the Internet's IP-based infrastructure.
* Creating, Provisioning and Managing IP Services Under Massive Commercial Pressures
Charles Muirhead, Founder, Orchestream and iGabriel.net
The Internet has evolved from research facility to backbone of the new economy. Historically, fundamental Internet protocols were carefully agreed by standards bodies over many years but today's commercial pressures require huge infrastructure investment decisions daily. And today's Internet reality is one of many different technologies at multiple network layers. Given this flux, how do network managers best provision new services and manage their networks? Can we continue to innovate at breakneck speed with standards-based solutions? What does this all mean for buyers of network infrastructure products & services? In this keynote, Charles Muirhead will look at the new realities of product creation and infrastructure deployment.
