There comes a point when the adage "there's an app for that" becomes too on-the-nose.Enterprises need to be able to manage numerous networking and security applications from multiple vendors, but balancing multiple APIs and licenses across those applications creates complexity, Nabil Bukhari, CTO of Extreme Networks, told Light Reading at the company's Extreme Connect event in Paris this week.During this podcast, Bukhari explains the challenges enterprises face in networking and security application management and how the use of AI can simplify network automation and connectivity. But, AI should be used for more than just automating tasks, it should also automate business outcomes, he adds. That could mean "automating the entire process your [networking and security] teams would do anyway" by using AI to troubleshoot problems, remediate issues and catalogue the steps AI took to solve the issue, he says.

In Part 2 of this session, Jane* (not her real name) asked:(3) This year, I met another man who was very aggressive in going after me. I really feel the spiritual connection to him. I've never felt like this before in my life, like my relationship with men has not been good. I'm always the giving role, but for the first time in my life, I've somebody behind me who can support me, spiritually, mentally and also practically. This whole thing is very draining, confusing and overwhelming for me. What is this guy's role in my life? Whether I should pursue this, observe this, or close this off so I can move on and I know what to do?(4) How can I be a better mother to my children?(5) Is there anything I should look out for in my business?Credits to music used: RelaxingTime, Relaxing Music Vol.12

In Part 1 of this session, Jane* (not her real name) asked:(1) I feel very drained because I'm usually the giving person to my family members. My family is not good to me, and I have to give a lot to them. But I've got very good friendships, in that my friends are very supportive and giving to me. Why is it like that? It is a recurring pattern. Is there anything to do with my past life, which is why this is the way things are today?(2) My relationship with my husband has been very strained. It is the same recurring pattern, like how my dad will use me and have certain expectations of me. I think my husband also sees me as somebody good to have. I don't feel the love I'm supposed to feel. And it has come to the point where I wish to untangle this. But I also have children with him, whom I love and try to be a good example for. And so, I'm caught between living a truth for myself, and the norm of keeping the family together. Any advice?Credits to music used: RelaxingTime, Relaxing Music Part 1

In Part 2 of this session, Sarah* (not her real name) asked:(3) My third question is related to my health. Since I'm always working in front of the laptop, I used to get migraine and eye dryness. I had it for a few years, then I took proper sleep and did the exercises. Now it got resolved. And now I'm having tooth problems, like receding gums, throat pains, so I can't eat properly. So, I'm having this issue for the past few years. I consulted many dentists, but still, I have receding gums issue which is not growing, so ultimately, I couldn't eat. The main purpose of life is to enjoy the food and survive. So, that's a major concern for me.(4) My final question is about my parents' health. For the past few months, my parents are undergoing psychiatric consultation and taking medicine. Because my marriage is getting delayed, and there are a few health issues for them, my parents got disturbed mentally. We took them to the psychiatrist, and now they are taking medicines. And now, they are fine, but still, I don't know how it will go if they stop the medicine.(5) Any final messages to sum up this session?Credits to music used: RelaxingTime, Relaxing Music No.12

In Part 1 of this session, Sarah* (not her real name) asked:(1) My first question is related to my future, about my marriage. My parents have been looking for the past few years, either my parents rejected the boy's profile, or the boy's family rejected my profile, so it keeps on going like this. Last month, they got a profile which both families agreed, and even the engagement date was fixed. But at the last minute, my relative stopped it, complaining about the boy's character. So now, I'm literally scared and lost hope in my marriage. How long will this be delayed, and whether I will get a life partner with good character?(2) My next question is related to job. For the past years, I've been working in the IT industry and recently, I switched to another company. Even though the workload is heavy, I like the work and the project I'm currently working on. Can I go in the same path? Or should I change my career? Or should I change to a new company?Credits to music used: RelaxingTime, Piano Music No.9
