Join Ray Mota, CEO of ACG Research and host of the Deep Edge Podcast, for an in-depth conversation with Kevin Vachon, of Mplify (formerly the MEF). In this episode, Kevin walks us through: • The Story Behind the Rebrand: Why “Mplify” was chosen, how market shifts toward multi-cloud, AI, and automation drove the decision, and the legacy of LSO and network standardization. • Building a Global NaaS Ecosystem: Strategies for fostering collaboration among service providers, vendors, hyperscalers, data-center operators, and enterprise customers—plus the engagement models that make it all work. • Certifications & Interoperability: How trusted transparency and standardized APIs reduce risk, boost confidence, and drive real interoperability across layer-2, APIs, and beyond. • Networks for AI vs. AI for Networks: Clarifying where Mplify plays in enabling AI-centric use cases, from on-demand GPU services to elastic bandwidth and consumption-based models. • Inside the Global NaaS Event (GNE) 2025: What to expect at this year’s Dallas gathering—real demos, rapid-fire user stories, business-value case studies, and deep dives into next-generation NaaS capabilities.LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-vachon-5675ab1/Kevin's biohttps://www.mplify.net/people/kevin-vachon/Mplify Board Linkhttps://www.mplify.net/about-mplify/officers-board-of-directors/#mplify #acgresearch #NaaS #LSO
