Description:

Take a Network Break! This week’s episode was recorded in a hotel room in San Jose during Network Field Day 14. We were recording with handheld mics, so there’s a bit of background noise here and there–sorry about that.

We cover reports that a buyer may have emerged for Brocade’s IP networking business, analyze HPE’s acquisition of SimpliVity, and check in on the latest developments in the Cisco-Arista dispute.

Barefoot Networks releases programmable switch silicon to challenge Broadcom and others, Cumulus begins selling hardware to go with its network OS, and Gigamon’s stock drops on a gloomy earnings report. Last but not least, we check get a little more insight into the VMUG leadership rules.

Get details on all these stories, plus messages from our sponsors, after the donut.
