2 Mins Reading: Reaching the Right People…
Our team is busy working on supporting PostgreSQL database. Since we have plans to release this build before the year end, we decided to work on weekends too. Past Sunday, while we were working, I told the guys to order lunch and that the check is on me, of course with a hope that I will get reimbursed by my company 
. Hope my boss reads this blog.

My request to the TME is, please refer to the Cisco partners page for MediaNet and announce only the approved vendor names during such sessions. We vendors put in a lot of e…

Cisco IP SLA – Video Operations(IP SLA VO) acts as a stress tester on the network. One can validate the effect of rich media applications on the performance of other applications on the network. This helps a great way in ensuring that the network c…
