Putting forth the concept, the road to business agility goes though IT, and tackling the question, “What does the software defined network mean for the future of IT service delivery?,” Mr. Koushik will share his views on why today’s IT organizations struggle to be agile, and then, using NTT’s leadership in SDN as an example, he will speak to NTT I³’s unique approach to enabling agility for enterprises. Supported by Dr. Sriram Natarajan, senior researcher at NTT I³, Mr. Koushik will share how NTT is facilitating business agility through the company’s pioneering use of SDN, market-leading global private and public cloud offerings, and focus on building a more flexible and adaptable infrastructure for enterprise clients. During his presentation, Mr. Koushik will reveal the key customer centric solutions within the areas of security, cloud computing and SDN that NTT I³ will focus on during the next 12 to 18 months.

Backed by the financial strength of NTT and building on NTT’s world renowned R&D heritage, NTT I³ strives to set a new global standard of agility, quality and value creation in pursuit of open service innovation. NTT’s researchers have invested considerable resources in developing a leading position on next generation data center technology and service models through contributions to working groups and standards bodies, developing early stage solutions and providing thought leadership positions. NTT I³’s position that the next generation data center will be software defined and more responsive to business demands will be illustrated through Mr. Koushik’s presentation.

The Datacenter Dynamics Converged San Francisco speaking engagement is Mr. Koushik’s first as CEO following the official opening reception for NTT I³ on May 29, 2013 at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco.
