As the official media sponsor for iLabs, Network World gets a bird's-eye view of the inner workings of the iLabs teams as Network World Lab Alliance members David Newman and Joel Snyder worked with the VoIP and NAC teams, respectively, during a 10-day iLabs hotstage last month in a Belmont, Calif., warehouse.

Our coverage details the overarching themes of the iLabs testing. If you are attending the show, you can see the demonstrations and meet the testers on the show floor during exhibition hours at booth 122.

In addition, Network World’s multimedia department will post interviews with Snyder and Newman on networkworld.com.
