Reliance Jio, along with Linux, hosts India Digital Open Summit 2018

Reliance Jio has recently hosted the India Digital Open Summit 2018, an Open-Source Networking (OSN) Day being organized in partnership with the Linux Foundation and supported by Cisco Systems. The January 19, 2018 event marks the inaugural India Digital Open Summit, a meeting of the top technologists, academia, start-ups, and industry leaders focussed on how open-source networking systems and platforms would transform and foster innovation and leadership across the entire digital ecosystem.

Open source is being embraced by leading organizations globally, not only due to its cost advantage, but to leverage the development advantages open-source communities offer. By its very essence, open source fuels enterprising organizations because unlike proprietary systems, it enables greater innovation and differentiation, helping companies customize and manage platforms with more flexibility with the ability to rapidly develop and bring new services to the market with scalability and security.

The summit featured discussions on various elements of the Open-Source framework for policy, technology and security that accelerate the expansion of the Digital India initiative across domains. The one-day event held at the Reliance Corporate Park campus in Navi Mumbai

Over 400 participants are expected at the India Digital Open Summit 2018. More than a dozen global C-Level Executives will discuss a range of topics, including application to Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud-scale networking, open compute, AR/VR, real-time analytics and other topics on the open-source-spurred digital transformation.
