Networks on Demand – What You Need, Not What We Have.

MPLS, internet, mobile connectivity: traditionally, the network medium dictates the connection, and applications have to adapt. This presentation turns that model on its head. With Managed Underlay, the application determines the connectivity. Discover how a global aggregator connects sites in more than 130 countries to the most suitable network, and what this means for cost, deployment speed, and operational efficiency. The full details will be revealed live on stage.

Session description

Speaker: Bernd Lohr


Enterprise networks are traditionally defined by the available connectivity medium, and applications are expected to adapt accordingly. This presentation challenges that paradigm: with Managed Underlay, the application determines the connectivity.

We will explore how a global aggregator connects sites in more than 130 countries to the most suitable network, all through a single contract, a single point of contact, and a unified SLA. The session highlights how this approach improves cost predictability and simplifies network management while maintaining the flexibility required for dynamic, redundant network operations.
