Velocloud will be good for Arista but Arista won’t be good for Velocloud. Arista will use the sales teams to exploit the SP segment for switching and routing. They will incorporate SASE into the routers and kill the standalone devices.

As they further their bundling strategy VMware announced that they have incorporated Aria in VCF and VVF bundles. This is their effort to increase margins by requiring you to buy parts that you might not need.

Just got this message from my health care insurer. "A $20.00 convenience fee will be added to all online payments." I guess I'll mail them a check and let them manually process it. So much for the digital transformation. #DigitalTransformation
