In this episode of Altitude, Woody is joined by Nick Lippis, Co-Founder and Co-Chair of Open Networking User Group (ONUG), who brings more than 25 years of experience in networking with a current focus on hybridity and multicloud.

Woody and Nick discuss how enterprises are increasingly adopting hybrid and multicloud infrastructure to give more options and flexibility, how AI will impact networking and security, the convergence of NOC (network operations center) and SOC (security operations center), and the importance of maintaining control over convenience in enterprise cloud infrastructure.
