Coffee with Craig and Kevin Episode No. 55: Oracle, Ingram Micro Cloud

March Madness is in full swing, not only on the basketball court, but with our podcast and the just-around-the-corner Channel Partners Conference & Expo.

Oracle, fresh off its purchase of SD-WAN provider Talari, is poised to make a big splash at our show. Nate Grinnell, senior director of the company’s worldwide alliances and channels, strolls into the coffeehouse to talk about: how the acquisition will benefit partners of both companies; the new master-agent relationships he’s setting up; the year’s hottest SD-WAN trends; and the message he and his team hope to get across to prospective partners at CP Expo.

We’ll also get an on-the-scene report from Ingram Micro‘s Cloud Summit X, where the distribution giant just launched a new IoT Marketplace.

All of that, plus a rundown of the Channel Partners agenda that only a millennial could appreciate.
