SUSE Ready to Heat Things Up at Cisco Live!

There are plenty of reasons to be at Cisco Live this year. Technical education, thought leadership and partner collaboration, not to mention Florida sunshine (or possibly monsoon rains), humidity, Universal Studios, and Cake (the band, not the kind you eat.
