Bikash and his Google Global Networking (GCN) team are responsible for the design, development, build and operation of Google’s massive global network on which every Google service and the Google Cloud Platform rely. The GGN team develops the cutting edge intent driven networking technologies that allow Google's global WAN to be zero touch; builds out some of the largest scale SDN infrastructures ever deployed (B4, Espresso); scales Google's global CDN that fuels Youtube and all other Google services; and expands the reach of Google's network by building the highest capacity submarine cables and the most programmable terrestrial optical networks. This infrastructure is also the core network that underpins all Google cloud services.
