Field Tech Day is an annual event where vendors and a small number of respected bloggers gather, and there is an exchange of information about updates. A distinctive feature of the event: the audience's familiarity (many blogger listeners are, in fact, engineers working in the industry and knowing the subject matter) and a small amount of marketing (presentations are read by the vendor’s engineers, 10 minutes of introduction are given to “pure” marketing). Plus, often all this is accompanied by practice, etc. In general, a very useful thing for those who want to be "in the know."
Last week the Wireless TFD performed (in order of priority):
- Motorola Solutions (first time on TFD)
- Keith Parsons (if you haven't listened to Wireless LAN Weekly - I recommend)
- Juniper
- Aruba
- Cisco and Meraki (i.e. Cisco again).
There were no such “regulars” (if you can say so about the event, which was held 3 times before) like Aerohive, MetaGeek, Ruckus.
Materials are laid out on Youtube and Vimeo, the table of contents, details and links are
here . So far, the materials of the initial days are available. I think next week they will lay out the rest.
I advise those interested to pay attention to the list of listeners and look at their blogs!
PS Also on the TFD website you can look at other events: Networking TFD, Storage TFD, Virtualization TFD and “just” TFD.
