	Description:		Take a Network Break! Episode 51 looks at new products from VMware, including a partnership with switch OS vendor Cumulus Networks. We also discuss VMware’s relationship with EMC, and speculate on what executive moves at EMC-federated companies mean for the storage giant. We dig into Dell’s new business unit that builds custom server deployments for organizations with high-performance compute needs that aren’t quite at the Facebook/Google level. And we reflect on a manifesto about product quality from Arista, and how important it is to not just talk about it, but to implement actual business practices that promote quality. Finally, we check in on Brocade’s most recent financial results, and keep track of the latest developments around Docker and containers. Sponsor: Riverbed This week s show is sponsored by Riverbed.
