The Interop expo and conference used to be an industry event where you got an industry snapshot and projected major trends for the year to come. But the organizers diluted the event by adding the software2008 and CSI SX security conferences; plus they offered conferences within a conference such as their CIO Boot Camp, Energy Camp, the Unconference, et al while piling on IT topics for the main Interop conference. In all there were over 250 conference sessions on nearly every IT topic one could image or create spread out over five days. The exhibition floor attendance was about the same as last year +/- 10% at approx 20,000 attendees.

Many IT leaders have build private application delivery networks while outsourcing content delivery network needs to improve the performance of video, music downloads, and rich media. These two separate networks are now converging into one physical but logically separate networks with unique attributes for the traffic, which flows through them. Two experts in the field from Internap; Phil Kaplan Chief Strategy Officer and Tim Sullivan Chief Technology Officer join me to discuss how these two network clouds are beginning to drift together and what this will mean to IT operations and business. Internap's approach to service delivery is software based and relies upon backbone router vendors such as Foundry Network's NetIron XMR and its ServerIron to deliver the services it offers. If you have built an application delivery network and outsource content delivery to a service provider then you need to listen to this podcast.
