Toni Muller, Verne Global - Adopting OpenStack from an SMB Perspective
"This talk will be about how to get started with OpenStack in an SMB environment. The scenario will be as follows: a small cluster with compute and storage facility, and a method to get it all up and running in a comparably easy way, all the while keeping the door open to significant growth."

Sujata Tibrewala, Intel - Edge Services, Now and Beyond
How are we making easy for our developers to create the exciting 5G and edge services that are the real driving force behind edge transformation? Intel is developing and making available an open reference software toolkit – called “Open Network Edge Services Software (OpenNESS)” that abstracts the complexity of the network and provides an easy button to “network-as-a-service” capabilities to the developer. Join us for a deep dive incursion into the future of edge services.
