Take a Network Break! On today’s episode we review major announcements from VMworld and Huawei Connect (hint: lots of cloud).
We also check in on the debate about a fork of the Docker project, get into Apple’s dispute with European tax authorities, and touch on news that a private equity firm has made a bid to take Infoblox private.
