Description:

Take a Network Break! This week we debate the merits of Bimodal IT and drill into OpenStack news from Walmart (yes, Walmart) and Dell.

Intel announces big layoffs and a new CPU/FPGA combo. Mesosphere launches DC/OS, a data center operating system for the container age, and brings along some impressive friends, including Cisco and Microsoft.

The British government has some advice on passwords (don’t force people to keep changing them!), Cisco and Hyundai team up around connected cards, and Mellanox and F5 release quarterly financials.

You can find all the show notes, and our sponsor links, after the donuts.
