Speaker Bio:
----------------------------------------
Mike O’Gorman is a Distinguished Engineer in Cisco Systems, leading a team of 30+ software developers in the Chief Technology and Architecture Office. In this role, Mike leads a team to design, prototype and build the next generation of network and data center orchestration, automation solutions leveraging the latest advances in cloud and virtualization technologies. This team is responsible for working closely with the industry, customers, and internally with product management and engineering leaders to identify technologies beyond the tip of the spear that can be leveraged into Cisco products and solutions.

Most recently this team has been focused on working with the media and broadcast industry to apply some of the technologies developed for the NFV and SDN industry evolutions to the transition from SDI to IP that is going on in the broadcast world today.

Mike has been working on technology since 1996. He graduated with a BSc in Computer Science and Information systems from the University of Limerick, Ireland and started his career with Sun Microsystems. He spent 13 years working on the Solaris operating system developing device drivers and systems software for large scale enterprise servers. It was with Sun that Mike worked on simulation and virtualization technologies that led to the creation of Sun’s first Hypervisor (the technology that enables virtual machines). From here, Mike moved to Juniper Networks and spent 4 years working on applying this technology to the creation of a highly distributed data center switch which used virtualization technologies to manage its highly scalable control plane.
