@NetworkingNerd Damn y'all did me wrong with that shadow on my face. I suppose I actually am "shadow IT", huh?

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

The presenters for @selectorai knocked it out of the park to bring us home for #NFD30. Awesome presentation - unique positioning for extracting value from the network using AI/ML. Check them out! https://t.co/toYkGjJuAI

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

Predictable pricing based on number of monitored devices rather than volume of data with @selectorai - potentially compelling from a cost perspective vs something like Splunk #NFD30

Agreed! #NFD30

Love the links in the @Fortinet dashboard showing "API Preview", "Relevant Documentation", "Guides", and "Video Tutorials" which update as you change screens in the dashboard. #NFD30

From setting VLAN info to DHCP policies & more @Fortinet #NFD30

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

I used the FortiAPI quite extensively a couple years ago, and it is well documented. The difference in API calls from speaking directly to FOS vs FortiManager was minimal, and I only needed minor code updates to migrate to FortiManager calls. #NFD30 @Fortinet

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

@SDN_GIRL @Fortinet Never thought of them in the data center, interesting...

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

Having recently deployed a new network that has Cisco SD-WAN at the edge, Meraki for LAN/WLAN, and Palo for NGFW, it's sure compelling to see a fully integrated security vendor provide all the necessary campus/branch capabilities in a single platform/interface. @Fortinet #NFD30

[Pete Robertson @vCloudPete]

@Fortinet has a clear strategy of driving network simplicity through convergence. They apply this to their vision of bringing network and security together, as well as how they combine wired, wireless and WAN technologies into the same platform #NFD30

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

Rather than having separate platforms for Firewall, SD-WAN, LAN/WLAN, ZTNA, SASE, etc., @Fortinet has simplified and consolidated capabilities into a single console leveraging their flagship FortiOS platform. #NFD30

[Pete Robertson @vCloudPete]

@bcjordo @bigswitch @AristaNetworks I was just thinking the same thing!

[Dave Varnum @overlaid]

Ken Duda, CTO @AristaNetworks, takes such a practical, pragmatic, and refreshing approach to innovation. Love listening to him speak! #NFD30
