For the first time last week Procera participated in the largest and most important Telecommunications event in Latin America, Futurecom 2014, which brought together CEOs from companies such as Telecom Italia, Telefonica, Claro, ETB Colombia and more than 14,600 attendees in four days of lectures and trade-show in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

I spent last week in Dusseldorf Germany at the SDN and OpenFlow World Congress, where (despite the title of the event), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) had a “2nd Birthday” coming out party and was the talk of the show. Unlike many “standards”, NFV has been championed by network operators more than vendors (in fact many vendors have actively opposed...

This week I am attending Interop New York at the Jacob Javits Conference Center in the heart of New York City. It is only day 2 of the week-long agenda but I have already attended some engaging and impactful sessions. Below is a quick recap of just two of the many sessions taking place this week.

The yearly Black Hat conference focuses on information security and features training sessions and speakers who provide tips and tricks for trying to keep pace with the changes and challenges in network security.

In mid-June, Procera attended metabridge 2014 in Kelowna, BC, Canada. This event takes place in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, which also happens to be the engineering headquarters for Procera’s embedded DPI engine, NAVL. The aim of metabridge is to create a bridge between the Canadian start-up community and California’s tech heavy hitter, the Silicon...

The past weekend tens of thousands of people gathered in Jönköping, Sweden to participate in the world’s largest digital festival, DreamHack. DreamHack has been held twice a year in Jönköping since early 2000 and has held the title as the world's largest LAN-party since the 90s.
