DevOps Cafe Episode 48 - JR Rivers

We've unbundled everything else... why not the network gear?

JR Rivers (Cumulus Networks) joins John and Damon for a chat about an approach to networking equipment that challenges the conventional thinking that the hardware and the software must come tightly bundled together from the same vendor. What does that mean for cost? managability? choice? and the ability to move faster?
