The Open Compute Project Foundation is pleased to announce two keynote sessions that will kick-off the 2018 OCP Summit.
[image: Aneesh] Aneesh Chopra is known for outlining ways technology can spur innovation, strengthen America’s competitiveness in the world and solve the vexing problems facing the domains of health care, education and energy. Selected as the nation’s first chief technology officer by President Obama, Aneesh Chopra was tasked with promoting innovation, transparency and collaboration within the federal government. As the cloud industry faces new security threats, Aneesh’s insight and message on Balancing Collaboration and Security is a welcome and timely topic for this year’s summit. [image: Andy Bechtolscheim 4] Andy Bechtolsheim is Chief Development Officer for Arista Networks, a leading vendor of cloud networking solutions. He previously co-founded Sun Microsystems <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Microsystems> in 1982 and was its chief hardware designer. He also has been a venture investor, most notable for providing Sergey Brin and Larry Page with a $100,000 check in 1998 before the two had even incorporated their company, Google <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google>. In his keynote, Andy will share his insight into the design of cloud networks, the upcoming transition from 100G to 400G speeds, and the evolution of optics to keep up with the explosive bandwidth growth in hyper-scale cloud data centers. OCP is extremely excited to have Aneesh and Andy on the keynote lineup. The rest of the Summit agenda, including more keynote speakers, will be published in early January. Content to look forward to includes additional keynotes, case studies, executive tracks from Summit sponsors, industry announcements, engineering workshops and more! The OCP Call for Participation received over 150 submissions, which is more than double last year’s submissions, meaning you can expect the best of the best when it comes to Summit educational content!
