In case you missed Interop 2012 in Las Vegas and even if you were there – I have some really good news for you. TMC was there and we shot about seven hours of the most important and engaging interviews possible. We have all the companies you need to know about in spaces such as private and public cloud to big data, analytics, network testing and more. We spoke with the small upstarts and the giants like HP, Cisco and IBM. In short we wanted to present you with a wealth of information which you could use to make better decisions in your companies.
Does a vendor you are looking to buy from have a solid plan for its future – the answer is likely in these videos. Do they have a product which makes your job easier? Again, the answer is below. Do they have a solution to your company’s increasing reliance on AWS – something your IT department has little to no influence over? You know what I am going to say don’t you?
What about solutions to the problem of your departments storing information in the public cloud which may be in violation of numerous regulatory agencies – SARBOX/HIPAA, etc.? Again, the answers you seek are below.
Trends can be boiled down into software defined networking, faster connections (40G and 100G), WAN acceleration as well as cloud, cloud and more cloud – private and public.
I have some of the videos below highlighted and a full list in a spreadsheet follows. I hope you find them useful.
