Napera @ Interop NY 2008

Interop NY has been a great show this year. Although always a little quieter than the West Coast event, there were plenty of familiar faces and the combination of Interop with the Web 2.0 conference in the same venue kept the Javits Center busy yesterday.

Mike Fratto hosted an interesting and well attended panel on NAC yesterday, and there was plenty of spirited interaction from the audience. Steve Hanna from Juniper did a great job of explaining the Trusted Computing Group standards around NAC, and along with the audience asked the obvious question of why Cisco hasn’t done more to support TCG’s TNC standard. According to Cisco the jury is still out until the IETF ratify their variant sometime in 2009.
