0:07 my name is Sally Bayman and I am vice

0:10 president of cloud and service provider

0:12 marketing at Juniper Networks and I am

0:14 back again to give you my top three

0:18 favorite predictions for this year for

0:22 2023

0:23 and let's start with number one and this

0:25 one might be obvious but we will see

0:27 sustainability catapult to one of the

0:31 top care abouts for service providers

0:34 around the world it will be a key factor

0:37 in how they deliver their products and

0:40 services to their customers but also a

0:42 key factor in how they operate their

0:44 networks and their businesses

0:47 will see an increase in some of the

0:49 sustainability targets largely driven by

0:52 regulatory bodies and there'll be an

0:55 absolute focus on energy efficiencies

0:58 obviously driven a lot by the massive

1:01 increase in energy costs but also in

1:04 system longevity and that's all about

1:06 reducing E-Waste and the industry will

1:09 be starting to talk a lot more about

1:11 green networking and design for

1:15 sustainability

1:16 so number two and I talked a little bit

1:19 about this last year but number two is

1:22 all about Metro access and aggregation

1:26 and this year 2023 will see an

1:29 acceleration of their much needed

1:32 modernization driven by the continued

1:35 growth in 5G and Edge Cloud hosting

1:40 emerging as a whole new industry

1:42 category called Cloud Metro we'll see

1:46 networks being built with new

1:48 operational system and Architectural

1:51 attributes that will be very very

1:54 different from the past and these

1:57 attributes will be focused on dealing

1:59 with scale to support the massive

2:01 increase in traffic in the Metro they'll

2:04 be focused on cloud agility to deliver

2:07 or increase time to service

2:09 and they will be focused on delivering a

2:13 high quality and secure experience for

2:16 Network operators to actually meet

2:18 heightened user expectations

2:21 and then thirdly the need to

2:25 fundamentally change how Network

2:27 automation is deployed and how it is

2:31 consumed will really start to take shape

2:34 in 2023

2:36 we'll see automation transition from

2:38 on-premise

2:39 to Cloud delivered as a service models

2:44 centered around AI Ops and these new

2:47 models will allow operators to achieve

2:50 business outcomes that focus on uh

2:53 faster time to productivity and new

2:55 service value and also a reduction in

2:59 operational costs as well as

3:01 complexities and we'll start seeing

3:03 these new models start to deploy

3:05 initially in areas like Metro access and

3:09 aggregation

3:11 so those are my top three favorite

3:13 predictions for 2023 and I want to wish

3:17 all of you a happy New Year thank you
