Take a Network Break! Episode 61 marks the official (and slightly wobbly) birth of HPE, and then reads the tea leaves of quarterly financial results for Juniper and Extreme Networks. We also look at the repercussions of Juniper’s disaggregation move.
We welcome Mellanox switches to the Open Compute Project, and contemplate cloud spending projections from IHS.
Meanwhile, the government of the United Kingdom hopes to advance legislation that would forbid the use of unbreakable encryption, and Google plans trials of Internet-enabled balloons. Finally, we acknowledge a possible fly in the ointment of the Dell/EMC deal, and speculate that lawyers and money will get it removed.
