Software is the New Hardware….Or Is It?Innovation is being driven by software and virtualization more than ever in the ICT world and

is key to the agility for delivering services to support global military and intel operations and

countering asymmetric security threats attacking at all layers of the stack. Is this the correct

environment when our assets are harder to define, manage, and protect?

This year’s EIS conference will examine the trade-offs between legacy ways of doing business

and the risks and opportunities of this innovation.

CHARITY CHALLENGE FOR EIS 2016Polar Star is proud to honor our wounded veterans this EIS by donating $1,500 to the No Boundaries Program, and challenges our sponsors and attendees to match or give what you can to this very worthy organization.

No Boundaries is a program that promotes self-esteem, pride and a sense of accomplishment for combat wounded service men and women as they expand their independence from caregivers and overcome challenges once thought insurmountable. The No Boundaries program is sponsored by caring and appreciative Federal Information Technology (IT) VAR, OEM and FSI companies – all who want to give back to the DoD community they serve. No Boundaries has its own account at the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD), a 501(c)3 non-profit located at Winter Park, CO.

The No Boundaries goal is to sponsor one summer trip and one winter trip for 10 combat wounded veterans each year. It costs approximately $1500 per veteran/$15,000 total per trip for 10 vets. There are no salaries or overhead and 100% of each donation goes to sponsor a wounded veteran for these trips. The next trip is scheduled for August 9-14, 2016 to the NSCD at Winter Park, CO. Key supporters may inquire about attending and helping host a trip.

How to donate: The NSCD is a 501(c)3 non-profit and provides tax-deductible receipts for all donations. Donations can be made either donating online (preferred) or by sending a check to the “NSCD” and mentioning No Boundaries on the bottom left of the check. Envelopes and pledge cards are available at the No Boundaries desk at EIS. To donate online visit www.coloradogives.org

The NSCD uses the ColoradoGives donation site. Enter the No Boundaries Program in the special instructions or comments for non-profit block at the bottom to direct your donation to their account. Your generous donation is very much appreciated!

ABSTRACT: Virtualization of the transport layer through an SDN framework enables resource partitioning on a services, customer, or domain basis. If successful, this will allow a common set of optical transport resources to be shared across multiple virtual networks while still maintaining isolation and control. This paper will present the architecture being developed to support transport layer virtualization, provide some early deployment examples, and discuss open issues.

Software Defined Networking will solve all of your problems… Maybe.Scott SneddonSenior Director, SDN and VirtualizationJuniper Networks

Scott Sneddon is Senior Director,

SDN and Virtualization at Juniper Networks where he spends most of his time evangelizing the benefits of Network Virtualization and Software Defined Networking. Previous experience includes Technical Business Development at Nuage Networks, Chief Solutions Architect at Vyatta Inc; Consulting Engineering positions at Juniper Networks and Alcatel-Lucent; and Director of Architecture at Exodus Communications. His background is in architecting large scale Cloud environments and service provider networks. He was talking about SDN before SDN was cool.

ABSTRACT:Software Defined Networking (SDN) has taken the industry by storm with the promise of solving all of your networking challenges, reducing your networking spend, and fundamentally changing how you operate your infrastructure. But is this reality? Is this even necessary? In this talk we’ll discuss the current SDN landscape and some of the technology’s legitimate use cases. We’ll also discuss the original intents of SDN, and how we can actually have a significant impact on operational costs without abandoning the technology of today.

Enabling Mission Applications in C2S with High Speed Virtual RoutingCraig HillDistinguished Systems Engineer, U.S. Federal, Cisco Systems

Craig Hill is a Distinguished Systems Engineer in the U.S. Federal area and has been with Cisco Systems for 21 years. His focus covers a broad range of both current and evolving technologies, protocols, and large-scale architectures in IP/MPLS, Campus, WAN, data center, SDN/NFV, and security, while covering a broad customer set, including DoD/IC, and large Enterprise. He also serves as a senior field advisor on future product direction in Cisco’s Enterprise development unit. He is a 21 year CCIE (#1628), holds an Electronics Engineering degree from Capitol College, and is based out of the Cisco offices in Herndon, VA.

ABSTRACT:As the process of moving mission applications to C2S continues to increase, so has the need for extending the networking transport capabilities and assuring the performance of the network for those applications in the cloud is met.

This session will target virtual routing solutions that can run in C2S and how consumers of C2S can extend these same network capabilities, running in

non-cloud environments today, into C2S. Examples will be discussed for leveraging the virtual cloud router to overcome and mask the network limitations of the cloud computing platform, so existing mission networks and applications can leverage C2S now, and moving forward.

He has a PhD in Distributed Systems from the University of Pittsburgh, an MS in Computer Science, and a BS in Mathematics from Bowling Green State University.

ABSTRACT:Networking has been effectively the same for the past 40 years. Software Defined Networking (SDN) introduces a new way of looking at the way networks can support the needs of the users, but how does that happen? Who leads the SDN charge? The networking team? The users? In this session, Chip will discuss the implementation steps by which SDN was used to solve significant business problems in real customer projects. The session will focus on the process and the approach, not the technology, showing that SDN should be a solution to a problem and not a technology looking for an application.
