Networking @Scale 2015
as the organisers put it
Networking @Scale is an invitation-only technical conference for engineers working on all facets of large-scale networks. Networking solutions are critical for building applications and services that serve millions and sometimes billions of people around the world. And at this scale, there are always complex engineering challenges to solve. As with our 2015 and 2016 Networking […]
