	Description:		Take a Network Break! We kick off today’s show with a discussion of Open/R, a new routing application that Facebook has been using in its data centers. And we look at some unsolicited advice to Cisco about its storage strategy. Rumors are afoot that Thoma Bravo is in discussions with Infoblox to go private, the Salesforce outage leaves customers few choices, and Weaveworks stitches together new investments to drive container networking. Slipping iPhone sales have repercussions for Asian manufacturers, the SD-WAN market will likely sustain a lot of competitors for a long time, Pivotal attracts investment from old-school manufacturers, and cable mergers reshape the U.S. landscape. You can find links to all the stories we discuss, as well as sponsor details, after the donuts. Sponsor: ITProTV This episode of Network Break i s brought to you by ITProTV.
