The Operational Impacts of Supporting a Disaggregated, Distributed, Cloud-based Network Architecture

Watch a 46-minute NANOG conference presentation exploring how Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) can effectively manage growing network demands through disaggregated, distributed architectures. Learn why Disaggregated Distributed Chassis (DDC) solutions are becoming crucial for service providers facing increased traffic from video streaming, gaming, and remote work. Discover the operational differences between traditional and distributed architectures, examining required engineering skills, processes, and tools through a real-world implementation at a major cable operator. Gain insights into improving network reliability through reduced outage impact zones, understanding the motivations behind network disaggregation including cost reduction and vendor independence, and developing practical strategies for managing cloud-based network architectures. Speaker Aliraza Bhimani from Comcast Cable shares expertise on successfully navigating operational and business challenges when undertaking network disaggregation projects.
