As SDN continues its momentum, service providers are keen to understand the practicalities of moving to a Software-Defined Network architecture.  How to reap the cost-saving benefits, without sacrificing the differentiated services that subscribers cherish?  

Policy control is the ideal mechanism to ensure policy decisions are enforced throughout the carrier’s network, and complex network service chaining can be applied. During this interactive webinar we will:

• Present a reference NFV architecture that marries the subscriber- and application-awareness of Sandvine’s DPI policy engine with the scalability of Dell’s blade server platform. 
• Trace the path of a subscriber IP session and describe how value-added services can be applied efficiently, with programmatic flexibility.
