Network Break: The 2019 Wrap-Up Show

Take a Network Break! We forgot to say that the last episode was our last episode of the year, so we’re doing this episode to say it’s the last episode of the year. We tackle several FUs, and then dive into a few news stories including Google aiming to be 1 or 2 in cloud market share by 2023, Cisco acquiring Exablaze, and a new consortium to develop IP-based standards for connecting smart-home devices. Happy holidays and happy new year, and we’ll see you in 2020.
