Interview with Juniper Networks Ambassador Rob Jeffery

Had a chance to sit down with fellow Ambassador Rob Jeffery at the Juniper NXTWORK 2018 conference in Las Vegas. Rob is the Technical Director and CTO at Next Gen Security based out of the UK, with a heavy focus on bringing emerging network and security products into the marketplace.

We discussed his involvement in bringing automation and orchestration into his customer environments, as well as topics covered at NXTWORK such as AI, machine learning, Contrail, Northstar Controller and Self Driving Networks.

This is the second-to-last Ambassador interview I’ll be publishing before I switch over to my Lightboard series. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together!
