What is Networking Field Day?

 

Networking Field Day is a live, biannual event bringing top networking thought leaders and companies together to delve into cutting-edge technology and critical issues in enterprise IT networking. The event combines presentations with open discussions between our panel of delegates and presenters. This format allows the audience to hear essential questions being asked and answered in real time by industry-leading professionals.

Hedgehog Speakers and Agenda 

 

Last year at Networking Field Day 35, Hedgehog demonstrated our Open Network Fabric and how to create Virtual Private Clouds.  We also promised to come back in the future to discuss our Transit Gateway, which we will do at this event.

The Hedgehog Transit Gateway is designed to run AI workloads in the cloud, at the edge and everywhere in between with secure connectivity amongst locations. It also offers routing for distributed cloud infrastructure with a cloud native API that operates just like the AWS Transit Gateway without the transport fees. It provides the same networking features and services that customers are accustomed to in the public cloud.
