Interop NYC

I've spent most of this week at Interop in NYC. This is the second year for the NYC event, and while the show pales in comparison to the Las Vegas event, my experience has been that it is still a good show. The session rooms had good attendance, mostly on the security and data center tracks, and the show floor appeared busy. Unfortunately the event conflicted with the UN meetings and a meeting of the "Clinton Global Initiative" at one of the "official" Interop hotels, meaning travel in and around Manhattan has been a nightmare. Interop is still the best (and perhaps the only?) "general" networking show, covering voice, data center, security, wireless, and core network infrastructure.

Network World presents a nice wrap-up of the show.
