@jpwarren @Densify We can definitely show you how to model on-prem costs so you can compare against public cloud. We'll set something up

Thanks @editingwhiz #eweekchat

.@editingwhiz spine/leaf is a two tier fabric where all nodes are 2 hops apart, removing routing/latency issues #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

Spine/leaf networks are a big enabler of SDN and I think we'll see more adoption of technologies like Arista #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

A5) running workloads on a smaller hardware and software footprint saves real $ that is also easy to quantify #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

A5 getting business services up and running faster is a real benefit #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

It's hard to make a business case around saving a network administrator's time - the true business benefits need to surface #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

@TechJournalist true. I really want to hear what @CloudyButt has to say about this #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

Microsegmentation may provide advantages in mid-sized environments but may not justify the expense #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

.@editingwhiz mobility = bigger pools of capacity = more dance partners - workloads can be dovetailed to drive efficiency #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

The expense of SDN can be offset by higher workload density #eweekchat

[Andrew Hillier @adhillier]

Q2/A1 many tout speed of config and security benefits, but we see workload mobility as possibly the biggest benefit #eweekchat
