Description:

Take a Network Break! Cisco lights a Spark to take another run at unified communications and blunt Slack’s momentum, buys a small startup to make Spark more searchable, and touts a favorable finding in its patent battle with Arista.

Microsoft announces SQL will run on Linux, and rolls out a cloud switch OS that it will bring to the Open Compute Project.

Not to be left out, Google announces its own plan to finally join the Open Compute Project, and shares a new hardware rack specification with the project.

Network Break brought in three guests to help fill in while Greg was away. Many thanks to Russ White, Denise Donohue, and Tom Hollingsworth for top-notch pontification and erudite analysis!
