About the WAN Summit
Wide-area networks lie at the heart of
today’s most important enterprise IT trends, such as cloud services,
virtualization, collaboration, and big data. While conferences on each
of these themes abound, few opportunities exist to explore the networks
that deliver these applications, or the wave of change in network
requirements, technologies, and designs that are sweeping the industry.
The WAN Summit brings together corporate WAN strategists and service
providers to spark ideas, gain new perspectives, and initiate
conversations with suppliers, customers, and peers. The WAN Summit takes
place twice annually, in London and New York.
