DESCRIPTION:
This book is a very inspiring and vivid testimony of the huge transformation this means, not only for the networks but for the entire companies, and how AT&T is leading it.

Because if there’s one thing the last decade has taught us, it’s that network demand will always exceed expectations. Some of the smartest network experts in the industry have drawn a map to help you navigate this journey. From the Foreword:"This book lays out much of what we’ve learned at AT&T about SDN and NFV. It is an amazing feat that will put AT&T in a leading position for years to come."—Jim Zemlin, Executive Director, The Linux FoundationThis book is based on the lessons learned from AT&T’s software transformation journey starting in 2012 when rampant traffic growth necessitated a change in network architecture and design. To do so, AT&T had to redefine their technology supply chain, retrain their workforce, and m

In Silicon Valley it's said that 'Software is eating the world (of infrastructure).' AT&T is doing exactly that by moving everything it does to software."We invented SDN back in 2007 to solve the following problem: Networking equipment (the switches and routers that make up the Internet) were closed, proprietary and vertically integrated. AT&T - the big, old, slow telephone company - is completely transforming itself, and the Internet too. This book explains how, in 5 short years, John Donovan has led a revolution, turning around one of the larges
