Top 12 Stories in August: CenturyLink's Chief, More Layoffs, Top SD-WAN Providers

August’s roundup of top stories is a microcosm of the biggest stories of the year.

You’re always interested in who’s getting laid off from which companies, which vendors rank highest in various technologies, and who’s taking the reins as channel chief at the suppliers with whom you work.

Case in point: In August, some of our most-read stories included Xerox and West cutting hundreds of jobs — many of which have direct ties to the channel; the ranking of the top seven Ethernet providers; and CenturyLink naming its new channel chief.

Those are just some of our most-read stories – determined by taking into account both online page views and our weekly newsletter results (sign up for that here) – from August.
