For our Channel Chat news podcast series, we've interviewed channel chief executives from some of the big names in the business. They've quelled rumors, explained company news and talked up partner programs, and they even came clean about competition from other vendors. But whose answers rang the truest for you? More importantly, whose answers did you care the most about?
We've pitted the channel chiefs' answers against one another in our Battle of the Channel Chiefs: ProCurve vs. Cisco vs. Juniper vs. Brocade. Let us know who you think reigned in this battle. Are there any questions you want answered? Send them into us at editor@searchnetworkingchannel.com and we'll ask them and post them in follow-up interviews.
