0:01 uh the supply chain crisis no one is
0:04 immune from disruption especially in i.t
0:07 and networking
0:09 switches with 12-month lead times that's
0:12 no longer the exception
0:13 that's the rule
0:15 it's impossible to predict when hardware
0:17 will arrive
0:18 for now and honestly for the foreseeable
0:21 future
0:22 so let's see we've got delayed equipment
0:25 costly impacts on quality of service and
0:28 roadblocks to adoption
0:30 fun
0:31 what can you do
0:32 we need to go from just in time to just
0:35 in case
0:36 can't get what you need when you need it
