MW Panel I: State of the Industry

Tuesday, 01 April, 10:45 – 12:15

Theater I

Session Description
This Market Watch panel is one of OFC's most highly attended panels. A balanced mix of experts consisting of market analysts, equity analysts, and industry executives with implementation perspectives will share their views on not only what the state of the industry is today but also how it is likely to evolve over the next five years. The focus will be mainly on data center networking. Now is a great time to discuss this as we navigate upcoming technology limits, market structure changes, and ecosystem transformation. This panel will prioritize discussion over presentations.
