OK, so what's all the cool new stuff that looks cool out there? 8)
I hear a LOT of customers more and more talking about switching over to 100% wireless and 100% cloud-managed wireless. Reasons? Easier to support, expecting smaller footprints as they reduce office sizes, and the ability to extend office wireless into home offices.
We are still rocking out with old 3750 switches and 3900 series routers :rock:
I see no new things.

Doing lots with Python these days, not really doing anything with any product that is really "new".

Not something a sales guy with something "new" wants to hear... :D
mellanox? Although, not new.. NVIDIA just bought them.
NVIDIA's new AI stuff that integrates / utilises mellanox to have workloads consuming multiple systems ie the whole datacentre.

This a new development in distributed computing?
What are some of the resources you all use to keep up with emerging technologies and trends?

Asking my friends on message boards if they know anything that's cool... :smug:
Sometimes, it's looking at vendors guys I used to work with now work for. Some of those vendors, I dunno... I did have a buddy go over to Zscaler, though.
Not new, but new to me. Been working with Zeek recently. Think Netflow on steroids. It is kind of cool the data I can pull from the traffic going over the wire. As an example I can log every certificate that goes by on the network, and then trigger an alert for certificates that expire in the next 7 days. Kind of a backup to our normal monitoring. I can also get stats on ssl including the negotiated ciphers. Lets us alert on systems trying to negotiate weak ciphers. Mainly this is a cyber security tool, but I can see a bunch of operational stuff this could help with.

Reading here, r/networking r/sysadmin on reddit. Also our VARs like to tell us about all the cool new stuff they could sell us. Even if I don't agree to a meeting I can google what they wanted to talk about.

NVIDIA says the new computer is being able to have a whole datacentre doing one job. NVIDIA basically have whole computers on cards (cpu being AMD, gpu being NVIDIA, RAM and mellanox networking).
