#TFDx at Cisco Live 2015 report

11 February 2015
Comments off

It was a full day (January 26th) from 9:00 to 17:00 with a bunch of interesting information (especially for me, where the networking part is usually the simplest part of my project, considering the medium size of Italian projects and environments).
