I wanted to bring Anand onto the podcast to talk about Wi-Fi analysis because of this trend where many organizations are trying to get more data out of the network and what the users are doing on that network. Here are the topics we talk about on the podcast: * How Nyansa gets visibility * Taking the client perspective * Looking across the entire stack * Using real clients transactions as ‘sensors’ * What is “network analytics”, “big data”, “machine learning”, etc.? * Every vendor says they do analytics.
