Rockport’s new CEO, Phil Harris, recently spoke with Rob Enderle at Datamation to give him the inside scoop on what makes Rockport’s Scalable Fabric so compelling. It was a great conversation and it prompted Rob to put Rockport on his list of companies to watch:

They do this by rethinking network topology and reducing the typical complexity surrounding most networking projects.
