Take a Network Break! On today’s episode we dig into Arista’s antitrust lawsuit against Cisco, which had already hauled Arista into court over its CLI use. We also engage in a lively debate about chat backlash, communication tools, and corporate culture.
We evaluate security advice from the NSA, puzzle over Wall Street’s Apple freakout, and get a speed tour of recent financial announcements from a handful of tech companies including Juniper, Fortinet, and EMC.
Many thanks to our guest pundit Stacey Higginbotham, a longtime tech journalist and host of the IoT Podcast, for lending her insights and sense of humor.
