Send us a textWhen automation fails, it fails spectacularly—and at scale. The recent Google Cloud outage that took down over 54 global services for more than seven hours demonstrates this perfectly. A simple error—blank fields in automated policy updates—cascaded into widespread failures affecting millions of users worldwide. This episode dives deep into what went wrong, how it happened, and what it means for cloud resilience in the AI era.We also explore Cisco's dramatic pivot at Cisco Live 2025, where they've committed to refreshing their entire hardware stack and integrating AI throughout their ecosystem. Their new LLM called Deep Network suggests a future where networking infrastructure makes intelligent decisions autonomously. We discuss whether Cisco can deliver on these promises and what the unification of their Meraki and Catalyst lines might mean for customers.The Ultra Ethernet Consortium has finally released their 1.0 specification, establishing a comprehensive standard for high-performance computing environments. This 600+ page document marks a significant milestone in creating viable alternatives to InfiniBand for AI workloads. Meanwhile, Network-as-a-Service pioneer Meter secured $170 million in Series C funding, raising questions about the actual size and sustainability of the NaaS market.On the cybersecurity front, we examine two concerning developments: the mass exodus of leadership from CISA during heightened threat conditions, and a novel zero-click vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot that can expose sensitive data without any user interaction. This "Echo Leak" vulnerability demonstrates how AI systems that automatically scan content create entirely new attack vectors that organizations must defend against.Join us for a fast-paced discussion about these pivotal developments in cloud computing, networking technology, and cybersecurity.

What does it take to future-proof the modern workplace? In this episode, I speak with Thomas Rowley, Chief Technologist for Networking and Connectivity at Softcat, about the real-world challenges of managing a high-density office and how the company turned to Cisco to create a more intelligent, responsive environment. As more employees returned to the office, Softcat began to notice a hidden problem. Rising CO2 levels were affecting the comfort and productivity of their teams. Rather than treat it as a facilities issue, they tackled it head-on with technology. Working with Cisco, they rolled out a combination of access points, collaboration tools, and Meraki sensors that transformed their workspace into a data-informed, adaptive environment. But this story isn't just about devices. It's about inspiration too. A visit to Cisco's Experience Center opened Softcat's eyes to what was possible, not just in terms of hardware, but in how unified tech strategies can drive better decisions. That visit ultimately sparked the idea for their own internal innovation space, showcasing how operational excellence can become a cultural value, not just a technical outcome. Thomas also shares insight into the evolving role of connectivity in hybrid work, how Softcat supports over 1,500 salespeople with scalable IT solutions, and why the partnership with Cisco continues to shape their global ambitions. From sustainability to scalability, this episode offers a practical look at how two leading tech firms collaborate to solve problems that many businesses are only just beginning to understand. If your office still treats infrastructure as an afterthought, this conversation might change your mind. Are your workplace systems ready to handle both people and performance?

“The AI-powered enterprise is here—and it demands a network that can keep up.” — Aruna Ravichandran, SVP, Cisco In a conversation recorded live at Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Aruna Ravichandran, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Cisco's Enterprise Connectivity and Collaboration division. The discussion centered on Cisco's major announcements aimed at future-proofing enterprise networks to meet the growing demands of AI, automation, and increasing security threats. Ravichandran explained that Cisco is preparing for a massive transformation in the global workforce—one where AI agents will soon outnumber human workers. With billions of devices and agents expected to be actively communicating, Cisco predicts massive increases in both east-west and north-south traffic, pushing legacy networks to their limits. To meet this challenge, Cisco launched a suite of new solutions including: AI Canvas: A collaborative dashboard powered by a Cisco-trained large language model (LLM), offering cross-domain data visibility, telemetry integration, and AI-driven diagnostics. Integrated with a conversational AI assistant, it enables NetOps teams to resolve complex network issues in seconds instead of days. Agentic Ops: A new paradigm using AI to simplify network operations, empowering NetOps professionals to do more with shrinking budgets. Smart Switches and Secure Routers: Featuring dual CPU architecture (one for networking and one for security), these devices are post-quantum ready and built to support Cisco's Hypershield initiative. Wi-Fi 7 Access Points: A first in the industry, offering high-performance wireless connectivity for AI-heavy environments. Live Protect: A breakthrough feature enabling live patching of switches without downtime, reinforcing Cisco's three-layer security model across infrastructure, connectivity, and applications. Unified Management: Merging the Meraki and Catalyst dashboards into a single control plane to streamline administration. Ravichandran emphasized that all new technologies are backward compatible, ensuring customers can modernize without disrupting ongoing operations. However, she strongly encouraged enterprises still relying on aging infrastructure—like CAT 9200 and 6K series—to begin refreshing now to leverage these capabilities. Finally, Ravichandran reinforced Cisco's strong commitment to its partner ecosystem, noting that the company has built extensive enablement plans for channel partners to capitalize on this refresh wave.

V susednom Česku je hviezdou prvej veľkosti, no medzi slovenskými divákmi si fanúšikov hľadala postupne. Členka tohtoročnej zostavy tanečnej šou Let´s Dance, jediná česká súťažiaca Eva Burešová, prišla na návštevu do redakcie Pravdy. Po účinkovaní v Let´s Dance sa chystá zoznámiť nových fanúšikov aj so svojou tvorbou. Koncom mája sa v Bratislave uskutoční koncert, na ktorom Burešová predvedie skladby z ostatného albumu Meraki, ale aj staršie skladby. "Uvažovala som nad tým, že by som dovtedy napísala aj jednu pesničku v slovenčine. Uvidíme," naznačila s úsmevom hviezda, ktorej prvú popularitu priniesla účasť v súťaži Česko Slovensko má talent. Reč s Burešovou však nebola zďaleka len o hudbe. Speváčka a herečka sa otvorene priznáva aj k ťažkým momentom, ktoré zažila počas dospievania či v prvých rokoch kariéry. Šikana alebo panické ataky, pocit vyhorenia. Zažila ich, no aj vďaka tomu sa dnes cíti silnejšia. Dokonca sa jej zdá, že pomohli aj v tom, aká je matka. S partnerom Přemkom Forejtom vytvorili patchworkovú rodinu, v ktorej to vraj fungovalo od začiatku. "Mali sme skrátka šťastie," ozrejmila Burešová, no zdôraznila, že deti (ona svojho syna a Forejt svoju dcéru) zoznamovali až keď si boli istí, že chcú spolu žiť. Eva Burešová sa v relácii Ide o nás zamyslela aj nad tým, akým nástrahám čelia dnešné deti a porovnávala, či to mala počas dospievania ťažšie jej generácia alebo súčasní tínedžeri. Hovorili sme o kritike aj hejtoch, o tom, čo pre ňu znamenajú. Prezradila tiež, aký bol jej prvý večer v Let´s Dance a aký ten (zatiaľ) posledný - pred blížiacim sa finále, na ktorom chýbať nebude.

Burnout Fuels IT Generalists; MSPs Navigate Security Needs and Nutanix's VMware Exodus

The rise of IT generalists is becoming increasingly significant as the industry grapples with a growing talent gap. A recent report by Auvik reveals that a staggering 78% of IT professionals feel that work-related stressors hinder their ability to improve their skills, with 60% experiencing burnout. As baby boomers retire at an accelerated pace, the workload is shifting to senior employees, intensifying stress and workload issues. The report highlights the necessity for IT professionals to possess a broad range of knowledge across various IT functions, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence and automation to alleviate these challenges.Managed service providers (MSPs) are facing heightened security demands, yet there are concerns about whether clients are allocating their budgets effectively. A series of market reports indicate that organizations are managing an average of 45 cybersecurity tools, which calls for a streamlined approach to security controls. The landscape of cybersecurity is evolving, with a notable shift towards generative AI and the need for comprehensive strategies for machine identity and access management. MSPs are encouraged to help clients prioritize security investments based on risk rather than simply increasing spending.Recent product announcements from companies like Scion AG, Huntress, and Cisco reflect the industry's response to these challenges. Scion AG has launched Scion Guard360, a cybersecurity solution aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, while Huntress introduced a sensitive data mode to aid compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. Cisco's Meraki for Government solution has achieved FedRAMP authorization, underscoring the importance of compliance in enhancing security for federal agencies. These developments highlight the trend towards automation and AI-driven solutions in the security sector.The backlash against Broadcom's acquisition of VMware is resulting in significant financial gains for competitors like Nutanix and Scale Computing. Nutanix reported a 16% revenue increase, driven by customers seeking alternatives to VMware, while Scale Computing experienced a remarkable 400% growth in enterprise demand. This shift in buying behavior indicates that organizations are actively looking for new solutions, presenting an opportunity for IT consultants to guide clients through the migration process. As the market evolves, understanding alternatives to VMware could provide a competitive advantage for service providers. Four things to know today00:00 IT Generalists on the Rise: Auvik Report Highlights Burnout, Skills Gaps, and AI's Role04:32 MSPs Face Rising Security Demand—But Are Clients Spending in the Right Places? 08:51 Huntress, Cisco, and Cyan AG Roll Out New Security Features—Here's Why It Matters11:14 Big Wins for Nutanix and Scale Computing as VMware Customers Make Their Move  Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/  Event: : https://www.nerdiocon.com/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this week's episode, Beau sits down with metal artist and part-time attorney, Alisyn Palla of Meraki Metalworks. She takes us through her unconventional journey from a 16-year career in high-stakes business litigation to discovering her passion for welding and creative metalwork. Alisyn shares the story behind the name “Meraki,” a spin on the Greek word “Meraki,” which means doing something with your heart, soul, and full creative energy. She talks candidly about facing her initial fears of failure, the humble beginnings of her very first Harbor Freight welder, and how she slowly pivoted from the legal world to metal art—ultimately finding a new sense of fulfillment and a thriving creative business. Alisyn's approach is deeply rooted in experimentation—what she affectionately calls “FAFO” (fool around and find out). She illustrates how that process has led to stunning, large-scale art pieces that beautify both public spaces and private galleries, while teaching her invaluable lessons about resilience and problem solving. Throughout the conversation, Alisyn highlights her investment in learning through hands-on workshops (like those hosted by Stephanie Hoffman, Sosa Metalworks, and Bailey Industrial) and the power of building relationships at events like Fabtech. She also reveals her passion for giving back: from speaking at local high schools and AWS chapters to empowering others—especially women—to explore the vast opportunities in welding and fabrication.  Memorable Quotes • “My worst day in the shop is still better than my best day as a litigation attorney.” • “Every project is literally a puzzle. You figure out the pieces, make them, and glue it all together.” • “There's no such thing as failure—only lessons learned for the next project.” Resources & Mentions • Meraki Metalworks • Website: merakimetalworks.net • Instagram: @meraki.metal.works • Facebook & TikTok: meraki.metal.works • Workshops & Events • Underground Metal Works @underground_metal_works • Sosa Metalworks (Las Vegas) • Bailey Industrial's Metal Shaping Workshop • Fabtech Conference (Networking & Industry Trends) • Book Recommendation: • The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Connect with Alisyn • Instagram: @meraki.metal.works • Contact Form: merakimetalworks.net Thank You To Our Trusted Partners Upgrade your plasma cutter to a Thermacut EX-TRAFIRE - https://foxly.link/KnrZrx  Learn more about the Lincoln Electric Sprinter 180 Si - https://foxly.link/taIiwU  Connect with Beau Weld App @beaudidit Instagram @beaudiditwelding Email - ⁠⁠Beauw@weld.com Download the weld app today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/WeldDotCom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Calvin's passion for storytelling led him to SCAD, where he transformed his love for film into a powerful medium for exploring the intricate lives of artist-athletes. Join us as Calvin shares his unique experiences, from being awarded the prestigious May and Paul Poetter Scholarship to creating his acclaimed documentary "Meraki," which beautifully captures the intersection of artistry and athleticism.Calvin's vision for "Meraki" goes beyond traditional documentary filmmaking. Inspired by his fascination with both sports and art, he set out to redefine how we perceive athlete experiences, particularly within the SCAD community.

Joining Ettie this week in the Guest co-host seat is Taryn (@latenightdesigns) a long time friend of the podcast and full time romance author who uses tarot in their daily writing process. Their most recent book came out on the day we recorded together, Taming the Boss. (Taryn's novels were particuarly helpful for Ettie when they were going through a rough time in their life, so they are definitely great for times when you need to turn your brain off and just dive into something fun and low stakes!!) Our question for the episode is from Jess who asked about creating friendships/found family in the midst of a recent AUDHD diagnosis and feeling hopeless at what to do next.  The Deck of the Week is the Meraki Tarot by Kerri Snook. The fourth edition of this deck will be released soon, so listen to Taryn and Ettie talk about their different editions of the deck and how Kerri's art for the deck has changed through the years.  Follow Taryn on Instagram and check out their most recent release "Taming the Boss" out now on Kindle Unlimited! Taryn also shared their code, TARYN15, for those who want to take Thomas' self paced course Tarot for Writing!   Follow Ettie on Instagram and buy a personal reading from them in the Wildly Tarot Shop, and for bonus content support the podcast on Patreon!

Money is a topic most of us are focused on all of the time. I remember when I first started Meraki; money and the thought of it was all consuming. How could I make more of it? Was it possible to create an income I could rely on to fund my life? What about a better lifestyle? Was money hard to make? It felt like it back then, and that only made my thoughts and obsession worse.  Most information on money I see comes from social media. I see a lot of people posting fast cash methods and quick wins for money, because, let's be honest, that's what most of us want nowadays - a quick win right?  But when you actually think about your lifestyle and money, it's really what lies beneath this. What does money provide you with that you're desiring or feeling like you're lacking right now? Security? Freedom? Safety?  On this week's podcast, we are talking all things money bliss with @hannamoneybliss. You won't want to miss it!

My guest today is Sanjit Biswas, the co-founder and CEO of Samsara, a platform that helps companies digitize their physical operations. In 2023, Samsara reached $1 billion in ARR, making it one of the fastest startups in history to hit this milestone. But this wasn't Sanjit's first major success. Before starting Samsara, Sanjit left his Ph.D at MIT to build Meraki, a cloud networking company that Cisco acquired for $1.2 billion in 2012.In our conversation, Sanjit shares his journey from grad school research to bootstrapping Meraki in the early days. He reflects on the lessons he learned from Meraki's pivot to the enterprise, the decision to sell to Cisco, and the insights that led him to start Samsara. We then turn to how Samsara found product-market fit, Sanjit's philosophy on allocating capital, and the areas where he believes generative AI will have the biggest impact. It was a really fun and insightful conversation that I think you'll enjoy!(00:00) Intro(00:16) Sanjit's background and the genesis of Meraki(06:25) Meraki's pivot to the enterprise and rapid growth(09:45) Lessons from building Meraki's enterprise sales motion(16:15) The decision to sell Meraki to Cisco(20:05) Founding Samsara and its mission(27:11) Defining Samsara's product strategy based on customer feedback(31:00) Samsara's unique journey to $1B in revenue(39:16) Sanjit's "70/20/10” framework for allocating capital(43:13) The importance of board alignment and company culture(50:58) Sanjit's thoughts on AI and hype cycles(54:22) Sanjit's advice for aspiring entrepreneurs

He spent 7 years in the US Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer. Josh transitioned from the Navy and ran operations and business development for a manufacturing company in his hometown of Syracuse, NY. It was two years of record growth there before Josh and wife Kassandra knew they wanted to join the digital revolution and went straight to the heart of it all in San Francisco where they first met best friends and current Nomad Capital Ventures business partners, Jered & Carly DaCosta, and family. Josh's first tech job was at early-stage HomeSuite, think Airbnb for monthly furnished rentals (before Airbnb started doing it) – he ran all things automation on the supply side. His love for building automation tools saw him on to Cisco Meraki, a growth business unit powering Cisco's current strategy. He built a team of technical program managers and drove several strategic data projects across the organization. Concurrent with his time at Meraki, Josh earned his MBA from The Wharton School as a double major in Business Analytics and Joint Marketing and Operations Management. In 2020, the pandemic enabled remote work and Josh & Kass knew they would go straight to the Beaches of Jax, FL – originally their first Navy duty station and where they got engaged, now a new homebase for them and their four kids. They executed in rapid succession four deals, two syndicated, and bid farewell to their W-2's to fully focus on their business and family. As of 2023, NCV collectively has $60MM under management and their hospitality brand, Nomad Hospitality, has almost 100 listings. Josh loves the Jax communities and every aspect of their businesses, from underwriting deals, working with investors, overseeing renovations, implementing software systems, and of course delivering 5-star experiences. Get in Touch with JoshWebsite: https://www.nomadcapitalventures.com/ Property Management Website: https://www.nomadhospitality.co/Realty Website: https://www.nomadjax.com/ LinkedIn: Josh KristoffTo Connect With UsPlease visit our website www.bonavestcapital.com and click here to leave a rating and written review!
