NetAlly If You’re a Network Engineer What Does the Future Look Like
Networks are getting harder and experienced engineers are scarce. Thomas Doumas looks at where network engineering is headed in the AI era and why the physical layer still matters. He then introduces Ally Intelligence, NetAlly’s guided troubleshooting on the handheld tester. It helps frontline techs fix problems before they escalate and helps senior engineers work […]
NetAlly Plug it in. Press a Button. Know what to do
100G has moved out of the data center and into the distribution switch down the hall, but most enterprise teams have nothing that can test it. It also doesn’t behave like a faster 10G: links can look healthy right up until they fail. NetAlly VP of Product Thomas Doumas introduces the LinkRunner 100G, a handheld […]
7SIGNAL Automation to Remediation. Deep Data In. Smart Answers Out
7SIGNAL showed how its EYERIS AI engine and deep endpoint telemetry connect to AI orchestration platforms through MCP and APIs to move from detection to automated remediation. Demos covered driver checks in Microsoft Copilot, Intune roaming remediations, Teams call analysis, an access point reboot through a Cisco controller using Claude, and Jira and ServiceNow ticketing. […]
7SIGNAL Leveraging Outside-In Vantage Points for Proactive Remediation
7SIGNAL demonstrated how its platform turns minute-by-minute measurements from endpoint agents and sensors into proactive Wi-Fi remediation. The session walked through device-level spectrum and roaming analysis, a global adapter and driver performance database, experience-based signal reports, the AI-generated Iris Pulse daily report, and the Sonar endpoint for testing performance across the wide area network. Eric […]
7SIGNAL The Air and the Endpoint are Part of the System
7SIGNAL argued that the air and the endpoint belong in the network engineer’s definition of the system rather than in separate silos. The session introduced its architecture of device agents and Wi-Fi 7 sensors, the troubleshooting patterns they reveal, data collection and retention practices, and Iris, the company’s AI engine for root-cause analysis and remediation […]

Mastering Tokenomics and FinOps with VMware Cloud Foundation
A private cloud delivers its economic promise only when IT teams actively manage capacity, rightsizing, and operational visibility. Without proper governance, overprovisioning and dark capacity can quickly erode the financial advantages of on-premises infrastructure. This practitioner-focused session breaks down how to build an operational FinOps practice natively within VCF. We step away from high-level ROI […]
Getting More from Your GPUs with VMware Cloud Foundation
GPUs represent a massive capital investment, yet enterprise AI initiatives frequently struggle with underutilized hardware, fragmented access, and low compute efficiency. Unlocking true return on investment requires hardware-aware virtualization and dynamic resource orchestration. In this technical deep-dive, we explore how VCF optimizes enterprise GPU infrastructure for production AI pipelines. We detail the architectural mechanics of […]
Controlling Video Conferencing Traffic with Doug Schaefer
How and why to approach a hybrid setup for managing video collaboration in Azure/AWS/GCP, differences from full SaaS out of the box, and manipulating call signaling behaviors. A niche UC topic, but also an underappreciated one. Doug Schaefer, CTO at the value-added reseller American Sound and a first-time Cloud Field Day presenter, framed his talk […]
Troubleshooting Application Reachability in a Hybrid Cloud Demonstration by Selector
John Heintz, who leads Selector’s pre-sales engineering team, demonstrates how an operator would use the platform to troubleshoot application reachability problems whose causes are hidden across hybrid infrastructure. In the first scenario, an operator named Michael receives a Slack alert (ServiceNow or another ticketing tool would work the same way) reporting that an application called […]
An Operational Model for Cloud Agentic Applications with Selector
In this Cloud Field Day 26 session, Sirish Kondi, who leads the data infrastructure team at Selector, walked through the engineering behind the platform’s hybrid cloud capabilities using a scenario in which an on-call engineer is alerted that a Dallas application is no longer reachable. On-premises environments offer natural boundaries such as sites and data […]
Multi-Cloud Observability with Selector
In this Cloud Field Day 26 session, Reza Koohrangpour, head of product marketing at Selector, introduced the company and framed the problem it aims to solve in bringing cloud and network operations together. He explained that Selector’s founders previously led switching and routing at Juniper and that the team combines networking and AI expertise drawn […]
Expanding Cloud-Native Protection Across Clouds With Commvault
Cloud-native applications depend on data distributed across databases, object stores, retrieval pipelines, and lakehouse tables. When that data is deleted, corrupted, or changed by a bad deployment, recovery can require full restores, temporary resources, application reconfiguration, and the reconstruction of downstream dependencies. In the closing segment of Commvault’s Cloud Field Day 26 session, Jeff Cassianna […]
