25th of February took place our Grandmetric Tech Meeting #2 titled Enterprise Connectivity & Data Center. This time, after great feedback from attendees of Tech Meeting #1 where we focused on Enterprise Security aspects, we decided to present the connectivity and DC technologies behind the slogans: SD-WAN, MFA, Hyperconvergence, VXLAN and EVPN DC. We carefully selected materials and speakers to provide highest quality to the audience. Tech meetings are mostly about technologies and almost no marketing. Our speakers are experienced engineers, architects or managers to deliver knowledge in the best way and of best quality.
It was a very interesting event, despite being small in the number of participants. We could listen about the current 5G status from different angles including perspectives from vendors, solution providers, verticals, standardization, governments and research. The one I was missing though, was the MNO “reality check”. I believe that the industry reached now the time, when we are slightly moving beyond the 5G hype and switch from “5G is the answer – now, what was the question” to “who pays for the new infrastructure and spectrum”, being the reality check.
