Although “7 Gigabit performance” makes for great headlines, the real advance of 802.11ac will be better throughput for more clients.

Wi-Fi Mobility Symposium – San Jose, CA

On the enterprise IT side, I covered Application Performance Monitoring (with a special offer from SolarWinds) and Dell’s potential acquisition of Compellent.
