SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. It’s been just about a year since we last spoke, you were just launching the company (amazing engineering experience and advisors). What has the last year of disrupting the networking industry been like? Tell us how the latest round of funding will help Arrcus grow. 

Topic 2 - Everything is connected now (way behind user-devices), everything is collecting and transmitting data, and we have no patience for the delay. Paint us a picture of how the network is evolving to deal with 5G, AI/ML at the edge, DC to Cloud interconnects, etc. 

Topic 3 - Arrcus has been focused on bringing better speeds and agility to networking. As more networking moves to SDN and SoC, how have companies been able to measure the gains that come from these new approaches to networking?
