Ron Totah, Brocade's senior technical marketing manager, has left to join a startup. What do you make of this?
RTFM
Dear RTFM,
I can only guess that he's gone to greener pastures to escape the Brocade pressure cooker. Mr. Totah headed up the technical analysis team at Brocade (a.k.a. the FUD Squad) whose mission is to find shortcomings in competitors' products. Most recently, his team thought they found something fishy with Cisco's MDS 9509 switch, but apparently their test was just misconfigured (see Did Brocade Bungle Cisco Test? and Brocade & Cisco: Who's Out of Order?). Ron, if you're out there, give me a shout!
Dear Bob the Beaver,
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
