Abner - Congratulations on your new position. It sounds exciting. We also have a relationship with Juniper so maybe we'll work together in the future. We are especially interested in data center technologies and helping enterprises understand what "cloud ready" means. Please stay in touch!

Did anyone buy them?

Based on several private comments, let me make something clear. The issues I want to solve / have somebody solve are about extracting signal out of twitter for others to consume. There are plenty of ways of inserting more noise into Twitter.

Re: Are Web-managed switches a standalone market?

Thanks for your input Scott. I'll mark you down as a vote for "we made the right choice"

Re: Are Web-managed switches a standalone market?

Web-management minutia! This, to me, is more of a feature than subset or even a new market. How one accesses a device whether via command line, using a commercial SNMP NMS product or thru a browser all merely means of communicating with the device. Manageability is more a function of what one can do on the box beyond simply viewing status and statistics. A dumb switch won't allow the user to set up port mirroring for example.

I guess the proper determination of whether this makes sense or not is "are people buying it?"
