Network Break 118: Cisco Meraki Targets MSPs; A VMUG Spat

Description:

Take a Network Break! Today’s review of tech news looks at Cisco Meraki’s efforts to court MSPs (and boost service revenue). Cisco and Ericsson reaffirm a partnership that aims to generate a billion dollars for each company, and add a new Wi-Fi solution.

451 Research predicts the container market will grow to more than $2 billion by 2020 (Greg disagrees), Norton launches a home wireless router with built-in security services, and UBS predicts a year of security acquisitions.

IBM leads all comers for U.S. patents for the 24th year in a row, Infinera joins OpenDaylight, and Norway plans to shut down analog FM radio.

A VMUG spat over who can lead local groups goes public, and Barracuda posts a strong third quarter.

You can find links to all these stories, and our sponsor information, after the donut.
