New Juniper Networks Videos Covering Segment Routing
Juniper recently posted some new videos on their YouTube channel covering Segment Routing. These videos feature my former colleague Ron Bonica as he provides a basic overview of Segment Routing (SR) including key concepts such as paths and segments before diving into how SR simplifies traffic engineering.
I definitely recommend checking these out for anyone interested in learning more about this emerging technology that is generating a lot of interest amongst the the Service Provider community.

Interview with Katherine Dollar, Creative Marketing Storyteller and Communications Strategist
In this interview, I sit down with Katherine Dollar, a brilliant Creative Marketing Storyteller and Communications Strategist at Moxie Blue Media. We discuss the role of storytelling in marketing campaigns and speaking engagements and why this method of relaying information resonates in a way that creates a better connection with the audience and further helps a company in defining their brand and presence. We also discussed what it’s like for women in tech, her interests in Artificial Intelligence and Science Fiction literature and how she incorporates that creative aspect into her daily work on behalf of her customers.

Interview with Juniper Networks Ambassador Dan Hearty
First of all, let me apologize for the long delay in getting this next Juniper Ambassador interview published. I had a death in the family in December and it consumed a good portion of my time these last two months, so I’ve had little time for social media activities.
Alas, I’m very excited about this next interview – I spent time with one of my favorite Juniper Ambassadors, Dan Hearty (JNCIE-DC #190) at the Juniper NXTWORK 2018 conference in Las Vegas. Dan is just an awesome guy all around, a brilliant technologist, and one of our most active Ambassadors.
We discussed his contribution to the 2018 Juniper Ambassador’s Cookbook, Contrail Enterprise Multicloud and his interest around VMware NSX integration with Juniper’s Data Center products, emerging trends in the Data Center space, specifically around network virtualization, overlays and abstration, and his life as an Ambassador.

Understanding the Federal Government’s Rapid Adoption of Cloud
One of the biggest trends in the IT industry at the moment is enterprise adoption of the public cloud.

In fact, according to recent data by various integrators and tech companies, U.S. government agencies are moving to the cloud and away from their own in-house data centers faster than private corporations.
According to Gartner and IDC, if you look at the capital expenditures, approximately $392 billion in total IT spend on the cloud will take place in 2017. That’s a massive number, and Federal agencies are starting to represent a big proportion of that:

The Changing Landscape of Selling in the Age of SDN
There are massive waves of technology upheaval taking place in the marketplace, causing disruption and providing a challenge to technology salespeople who are used to selling in the traditional ways. Cloud, Automation, Mobility, Adaptive Security and the Internet of Things are just a few of the major changes affecting the landscape right now. And while these technologies are certainly challenging in their own right, there is one technology that stands on it’s own, not only in terms of how technology decisions are made, but also how technology is bought.
