Naveen Reddy is a CCIE-certified network engineer with 12 years across Indian enterprise campus, branch, and SD-WAN deployments. He's seen what happens when the network is the actual constraint on a digital-transformation pitch, and he writes about it bluntly. At Sirius Star he leads the networking practice across HPE Aruba, Cisco Meraki, Cisco Catalyst, Fortinet (networking side), Cato Networks SASE, Ubiquiti, and Quantum Networks. His specialty is the multi-site Indian business: a Mumbai HQ, three plants, six branch offices, and one CISO who hates surprises. Naveen writes on SD-WAN economics, branch-office Wi-Fi that survives Indian power conditions, and why '10-Gbps uplink' doesn't mean what your sales engineer thinks it means. Based in Navi Mumbai. Reads Cisco release notes for fun, which he admits is a problem.
