Digital Transformation of the Network
“The network really is the foundation for digital transformation, and I like that metaphor in the sense that all the digital transformation sits on the network,” said David Cheriton, chief data center scientist, Juniper Networks. “The metaphor breaks down because this foundation can fall through the ground very quickly. To me, one of the exciting pieces is that we’re dealing with, not a piece of concrete, but a complex set of interacting components that are doing a trillion things a second, and when things go wrong, your foundation falls apart. To me, the exciting part is making that foundation as reliable as a skyscraper foundation.”
