In recent years, we were associated mainly with Cisco Systems solutions. After introducing Aruba Networks solutions to HPE offer, Cisco is no longer a lonely leader on the market of enterprise-class networking solutions.

While doing so much, we forgot about the essential thing - the level of safety, just like the strength of a chain, is not determined by the sum of all its links, but by the strength of the weakest of them. The question "what is this link?" will not lead us to an answer. For we should ask not "what" but "who" is.
