This week our WAN-loving colleagues gathered across the pond for the 2017 WAN Summit London. We talked about the cloud, MPLS, the needs of enterprise customers, implementing hybrid networks, and why SD-WAN is about more than just cost savings.
As we prepare to unleash our favorite quotes, pictures, and videos from the two-day event, we've gathered some of the top tweets bearing the #WANSummitLondon hashtag. Catch up on the conversations below.
