bit about yourself & your work Studied Information Technology @ TU Chemnitz Have been working @Siemens since June 1991 in several jobs, dealing w/ industrial PC, automation, DCS,.. Currently: Innovation Manager for industrial communication issues.
Your experience with Cisco Meraki
I don't buy or use Meraki Technology, but find the approach "Cloud-based natwork management" cool.
A fun fact about yourself
My grandfather worked as an aircraft designer. One of "his" airplanes, the Junkers Ju-52 w/ the mark D-AQUI (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_52) flew until 2018.
Cloud-based networking is becoming more and more of A Thing. Even Cisco has products designed to allow for it.
Very cool about your grandfather's plane! We often think people are going to replace things, and then they just can't because the old solution was actually very good for reasons.
