Top Stories in June: Cisco, VMware, Telarus, Lacework Layoffs, More

It’s a new month which means it’s time for looking back at the channel’s top stories from June, including news out of Cisco, VMware, Telarus and layoffs at Lacework, to name a few.

More news of Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware trickled into this month as well. Broadcom’s deal has caused channel partners and customers to worry, and many expressed their doubts to our editor. VMware also saw the departure of its channel chief, who left the role for reasons beyond the acquisition.

Layoffs seem to be hitting the channel more frequently. We discussed three prominent ones for this roundup. Are the reasons behind the job loss justified?

Our Channel People on the Move continues to be a popular feature. Additionally, we focus on one channel leader’s transition from AWS to Google Cloud.

Finally, readers can’t get enough of the MSP 501. However, is the list our most popular story of the month?
