Expectations for Interop

So in a few more hours, I’m hoping on a plane bound for Interop Vegas. Being my first Interop, it’ll be interesting to see networkers in mass from customers and competitors to reporters and bloggers.

Unlike me, my Network Instruments brethren have been attending Interop for years. If you’re out there check out our booth (#527) and see the latest in troubleshooting technology. We also have chances for you to roll to win an iPod Shuffle, and chat with our engineers about any challenging network situation you might have.

Charles Thompson, our manager of systems engineering, will give hourly presentations on tips and trends in troubleshooting ranging from covering retrospective network analysis to 10 Gb and VoIP.

Beyond our booth there’s a lot going on; Denise Dubie of Network World lays it out in her column today, “Interop highlights for the network manager in you.” Jon Oltsik of ESG and CNet offers a high-level views of technologies and trends that he anticipates dominating the talk at Interop 2008.
