Most Spiceheads I know don't get much time to look too far forward because they are always working a backlog of wants, needs, and got-to-have-it-nows. So, I thought would share with you a recent post that I authored for IDC Connect on how software is taking a bite out of networking, and reinventing it in the process. I hope you have a moment to read it and share your thoughts on the next big thing in networking.
P.S. I must confess, the inspiration for my story came from Marc Andreessen's (NetScape founder and iconic Silicon Valley VC) seminal WSJ article titled “Why Software is Eating The World" -- it's a great read!
