Immigrants and Billionaires: Why are We Blaming Them?

The blame game is a tricky effort these days. Maybe its part of the problem, not the solution. Both arguments are flawed. And both are based on faulty zero-sum game theories, despite decades of economic data that prove otherwise. I cringed at many of the comments made across this year’s political theater.

“Quantum Matter” Anyone?

Eerie discoveries in thin substance research fuel speculation about what comes after silicon and oil.

Q) Why is SD-WAN different when it comes to monitoring?

[Stefano] SD-WAN is a game changer in terms of network management. Benefits of SD-WAN include ease of configuration and operation, cost reduction from the use of Direct Internet Access (DIA) mixed with traditional transport technologies (e.g. MPLS), and centralized management.

Q) Do you think SD-WAN will be commoditized by the cloud or become more strategic?

[Stefano] I don’t believe public clouds will completely replace private data centers. There is no doubt more companies today are running a fraction of their compute workloads in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Yet, I don’t see the future being run 100% on public clouds. I believe the hybrid multi-cloud model is the future.

Q) How will SD-WAN change how networks are managed?

[Stefano] SD-WAN simplifies WAN configuration and management. In traditional WANs, configuration and troubleshooting was mostly done via a command line interface, one device at the time. SD-WAN equipment are centrally managed from a web interface, and applying consistent network and security policies is much easier.
