Awesome read Kostas. Totally took me back to the era of flash drives and Super Mario..! At the risk of sounding cliched, the only thing constant about technology is change. So you hit the nail on the head when you say "I would want to pick the best from what’s out there to satisfy specific individual processes and then if something better comes up, I would want to be able to change to that." The real issue is who can you trust to be able to give you the right guidance on what best suits your scenario. That's where a 'Cloud Neutral' Cisco comes in!
