Techstrong Gang - 7/1/2025

Alan, Mike, Mitch, Bonnie, JP Morgethal, Futurum Group president Dan O’Brien and Stephen Foskett, president of the Tech Field Day arm of The Futurum Group, dive into the terms of a settlement between the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) that will allow a $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks to proceed.

Then the gang takes a look at how much energy is being consumed by open source OpenTelemetry agent software that is being used to instrument applications before diving into a study from Microsoft that finds we’re all working too hard.
