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.

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