DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amartus, a developer of next-generation software defined service (SDS) and SDN orchestration solutions for telecoms, today announced that founder and CEO Michael Kearns will present at Light Reading’s Ethernet Europe 2013. The conference will be held April 16-17 in Frankfurt, Germany, at the Marriott Frankfurt Hotel.
Speaking on a panel entitled “Software Defined Metro & The Virtualized Services Edge,” Kearns and his peers will explore the rapidly emerging role of metro software defined networks (SDNs) in the carrier Ethernet edge and both near-term and longer-term applications for SDN-enabled metro networks.
The panel will be moderated by Stan Hubbard, senior analyst at Heavy Reading, and other panelists will include industry experts from leading vendors including Cyan and Overture Networks.
“We’ve been on the forefront of simplifying service deployment and operation across multivendor carrier networks, and SDN helps carriers deploy new services, quickly across their entire network,” said Kearns. “I am pleased to have the opportunity to share the stage and discuss SDNs with such experienced peers.”
Kearns has more than 18 years experience in the software industry. Prior to Amartus, Kearns led the network management product strategy team for data networks at Marconi Communications Ireland (formerly FORE System and Euristix), where he held overall responsibility for its multi-service broadband network management solution strategy. Prior to that role, Kearns worked for a number of top software companies in the US, UK and Ireland. Kearns graduated from University College Dublin in 1992 with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science.
Amartus’ SDS and SDN orchestration solutions enable service providers and their vendor suppliers to overcome ‘time to market’ issues and achieve the on-demand, elastic, guaranteed network that is necessary for the wide scale adoption of Cloud services. Through the unique dynamic programmability of the Amartus Chameleon OS™ platform, Amartus eliminates the need for long software development and integration cycles, enabling new management capabilities to be built and tested in a matter of days.
