What Arista's Acquisition of VeloCloud Means for the Enterprise

Arista's VeloCloud SD-WAN acquisition marks a major shift in the enterprise networking space, giving Arista a mature and cloud-native SD-WAN platform to complement its strengths in data center and cloud networking.  For enterprise customers, the move could mean faster innovation, improved support, and stronger WAN-to-cloud integration.  However, customers should be aware of potential risks with the acquisition including hardware changes, licensing shifts, and short-term integration hiccups.  In this 7-minute podcast, Larry York and Tony Mangino from TC2 break down why the deal matters — and the potential impact on competition in the SD-WAN marketplace from the likes of Cisco, Fortinet, and Juniper.
