According to recent research, up to 80% of networking spend goes towards on-going support. We are slaves to legacy architectures. Yet with a new CIO survey suggesting that legacy networks are increasingly turning IT organisations into reactive teams rather than strategic partners, at what point does the risk of continuing with the status quo outweigh the risk of doing something different?

In this roundtable we examine how demands on the network are changing, and why you need to change too. Can embracing an open standards approach to networking both decrease spend and reduce bottlenecks? How do you implement new technologies such as software-defined networking into your current architectures? And what does this mean for your existing network vendor relationships? Join us to find out.
