– Juniper Networks, an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced dates and details for \u201cThe Open Disruptive Decade Summit\u201d series taking place in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (K.S.A) and Dubai, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E). At these events, Juniper will discuss how open networking is fundamentally changing the way data centers are designed and architected today and how this will develop in the future as digital transformation evolves. Key customers and technology partners from the region will also share their insights and add independent perspectives to the discussion. <\/p>\n
According to IDC, 20 percent of companies in EMEA will have an Open Source \/ OpenStack-first strategy by 2018, with new applications being driven by DevOps. Intelligent, open networking can drive business transformation, according to IT decisions makers who participated in Juniper\u2019s recent survey commissioned to explore the attitudes of senior network professionals across EMEA towards open networking adoption. <\/p>\n
The research further revealed that 55 percent of U.A.E respondents stated that their network is now measured on its effectiveness and ability to respond to a range of business needs, rather than merely its capacity and performance. Cost effectiveness is also considered a priority, with 65 percent of U.A.E IT experts surveyed aiming to reduce expenditure for their network infrastructure over the next 12-24 months. The reasons for open networking are clear \u2013 open means freedom and choice, translating into faster roll-out of new applications and services and a better use of IT resources and external partners. <\/p>\n
Key topics covered in the summits will include:<\/p>\n
How key IT use cases, such as hybrid cloud, automated and secure workflow automation and multi-tenancy combined with micro-segmentation, are delivered on an \u2018Open Networking\u2019 platform.<\/p>\n
How effective security is all-pervasive, from the container to the cloud, and why having a network-embedded approach to security provides the most comprehensive defense mechanism for the prevailing, constantly-dynamic threat landscape. Network-embedded security is pivotal to the delivery of successful open solutions.<\/p>\n
How an \u2018any underlay for any overlay\u2019 approach provides maximum flexibility in design, by building upon what exists and incrementing with a platform built for scale, automation, seamless integration and supreme agility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Open Disruptive Decade Summit is a wonderful opportunity to talk about how an Open Networking approach can provide real benefits within mission-critical data center and cloud environments in the Middle East. Juniper\u2019s open networking vision is based on the concept of de-layering, disaggregation and standards-based platforms where key functions and applications can execute anywhere within the infrastructure and where security is embedded and pervasive. At the summits in Riyadh and Dubai, we welcome organizations that share this vision, or would like to learn more.\u201d <\/p>\n
