Key Quotes: 

“At the base layer, NetFoundry enables innovation. Networking gets in the way of innovation. I've been doing it 20 years, and it's difficult, but we take the networking headache out of the equation. “

“If we try to look at edge in a vacuum, like ‘I'm just going to do all my edge computing in the corner of my store-‘ that's probably not really the right vision. You’re going to have to do a whole lot of compute in other places. Edge data centers, core cloud, et cetera. It really is a continuum.”

“The edge is becoming part of the internet…some of the really awesome innovations that are happening on the device or user side of the network-- autonomous cars, robotics, IOT devices-- the power of those innovations is unlocked when it connects to the rest of the innovations that are happening at the cloud”
