Juniper to Acquire 128 Networks
128 Networks is a familiar name to those of you following Tech Field Day, since we went all the way to Massachusetts for a special event with them last year. Juniper Networks is also a friendly Field Day company. Now we get the word that Juniper is buying 128 to augment their SD-WAN options. Is this news for the industry or just for us here at Gestalt IT?

VMware made a splash at VMworld with their Project Monterey, which leverages smart NICs to offload data processing work.

What do you make of them?
