商品描述

From the Foreword:

 

 

"This book lays out much of what we've learned at AT&T about SDN and NFV. Some of the smartest network experts in the industry have drawn a map to help you navigate this journey. Their goal isn't to predict the future but to help you design and build a network that will be ready for whatever that future holds. Because if there's one thing the last decade has taught us, it's that network demand will always exceed expectations. This book will help you get ready."
--Randall Stephenson, Chairman, CEO, and President of AT&T

 

 

 

 

"Software is changing the world, and networks too. In this in-depth book, AT&T's top networking experts discuss how they're moving software-defined networking from concept to practice, and why it's a business imperative to do this rapidly."
--Urs H lzle, SVP Cloud Infrastructure, Google

 

 

 

 

"Telecom operators face a continuous challenge for more agility to serve their customers with a better customer experience and a lower cost. 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. It provides a lot of very deep insights about the technical challenges telecom engineers are facing today. Beyond AT&T, I'm sure this book will be extremely helpful to the whole industry."
--Alain Maloberti, Group Chief Network Officer, Orange Labs Networks

 

 

 

 

"This new book should be read by any organization faced with a future driven by a "shift to software." It is a holistic view of how AT&T has transformed its core infrastructure from hardware based to largely software based to lower costs and speed innovation. To do so, AT&T had to redefine their technology supply chain, retrain their workforce, and move toward open source user-driven innovation; all while managing one of the biggest networks in the world. It is an amazing feat that will put AT&T in a leading position for years to come."
--Jim Zemlin, Executive Director, The Linux Foundation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This 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. Using new technologies such as NFV, SDN, Cloud, and Big Data, AT&T's engineers outlined and implemented a radical network transformation program that dramatically reduced capital and operating expenditures. This book describes the transformation in substantial detail. The subject matter is of great interest to telecom professionals worldwide, as well as academic researchers looking to apply the latest techniques in computer science to solving telecom's big problems around scalability, resilience, and survivability.

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

從前言中：

「這本書詳細介紹了AT&T在SDN和NFV方面的許多經驗。業界最聰明的網絡專家們為您繪製了一張地圖，以幫助您在這個旅程中導航。他們的目標不是預測未來，而是幫助您設計和建立一個能應對未來挑戰的網絡。因為過去十年教會我們的一件事就是，網絡需求總是超出預期。這本書將幫助您做好準備。」
-- Randall Stephenson，AT&T董事長、首席執行官和總裁

「軟件正在改變世界，網絡也是如此。在這本深入的書中，AT&T的頂尖網絡專家們討論了他們如何將軟件定義網絡從概念轉化為實踐，以及為什麼迅速實現這一目標是一個業務必要。」
-- Urs Hölzle，Google雲基礎設施高級副總裁

「電信運營商面臨著不斷追求更高敏捷性以為客戶提供更好的客戶體驗和更低成本的挑戰。這本書生動地證明了這種巨大轉變對於整個公司而言意味著什麼，不僅僅是對網絡的轉變，還有AT&T如何引領這一轉變。它提供了關於電信工程師今天面臨的技術挑戰的深入見解。除了AT&T，我相信這本書對整個行業都非常有幫助。」
-- Alain Maloberti，Orange Labs Networks集團首席網絡官

「任何面臨由「轉向軟件」驅動的未來的組織都應該閱讀這本新書。這是一個全面的觀點，介紹了AT&T如何將其核心基礎設施從基於硬件轉變為主要基於軟件，以降低成本並加快創新。為了做到這一點，AT&T不得不重新定義其技術供應鏈，重新培訓其員工，並朝著開源用戶驅動的創新方向發展；同時管理著世界上最大的網絡之一。這是一個令人驚嘆的成就，將使AT&T在未來幾年中處於領先地位。」
-- Jim Zemlin，Linux基金會執行董事

這本書基於AT&T自2012年開始的軟件轉型之旅的經驗教訓，當時爆炸性的流量增長迫使網絡架構和設計發生變化。AT&T的工程師們利用NFV、SDN、雲和大數據等新技術，概述並實施了一個激進的網絡轉型計劃，大幅降低了資本和運營支出。本書詳細描述了這一轉型。這個主題對全球的電信專業人士以及希望將最新的計算機科學技術應用於解決電信的可擴展性、韌性和生存能力等重大問題的學術研究人員非常有興趣。
