                    Cisco this week invested in a Parisian new-generation networking company as part of a broader initiative to bolster French digital businesses, but some see the move as a long-range strategic positioning against SDN/NFV competitors.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    Trying to select one and only one hypervisor to create  virtual environments can be a  fool's errand.
