Open Network Users Group: WAN SDN a Major Theme

Mike Fratto

Summary Bullets:

• ONUG is a user-led networking conference chock-full of good content for enterprise IT.
•  The main theme was WAN SDN, where enterprises try to make better use of their WAN pipes.

The Open Network User Group (ONUG) is a really good show for network administrators from enterprises of all sizes to learn from their peers at larger enterprises. ONUG’s focus is on user-to-user interaction, and in that respect, the majority of the talks, in particular the morning sessions, were given or led by senior IT and network professionals and reflected issues that are faced across a spectrum of enterprises.
