“We’re all dealing with powerful market trends when it comes to services providers. We can start by the continuous challenge of declining ARPUs of voice and data that pushes SPs to contain cost by looking at ways to simplify their infrastructure and attack some of the operational complexities while aiming to find new revenue streams and monetizing news services. With 5G, the move to IP and IT has massive ramifications on telcos. All these dynamics require leadership and mindset change. From that perspective, we will show how Infoblox is helping companies to contain cost”, he explained.
David Ayers, Product Marketing Manager, Infoblox also have a keynote presentation in which he highlighted the criteria for designing secure reliable DNS infrastructure in 5G network.
