CEO Pekka Lundmark wants observers to follow the timing and openness of open radio access network deployments.

The benchmark sets a new standard for silicon validation of Ethernet switching performance to ensure networks can handle massive data flows required by AI workloads.

But the carrier will look to expand the service’s reach into the enterprise space.

Observability player Dynatrace aims to make generative artificial intelligence more cost effective as teams shift from prototypes to production.

But it remains focused on solidifying the open tenets of the open radio access network ecosystem.

Zscaler's offering is less about switching and optimizing the transport from connectivity, and more about securing the transport, VP Naresh Kumar said.

Outdated approaches to networks and security are crumbling, vendors are consolidating and new players are emerging – who's best-positioned to come out on top?

Enterprise use cases will also help fuel the need for additional licensed spectrum. As industries digitize operations and connect daily workflows, reliable wireless connectivity is crucial.

AT&T is continuing its efforts to strengthen and expand the company's 5G wireless and fiber internet networks.

The combined HPE-Juniper Networks operation is set to provide a more complete 5G support package for operators.

AI backend network switches will account for 40% of the data center switch market by 2027, according to Dell'Oro Group

Western governments have been looking at open radio access network technology to expand the availability of equipment from vendors outside of China.

However, the network-as-a-service provider is not naming its low-Earth orbit provider.

The vendor knows cooperation and artificial intelligence will be key to driving the open radio access network ecosystem.

“These are always like hero experiments to see how far can you push the number," Cisco's Bill Gartner said.

Both the SD-WAN and secure access service edge markets expanded rapidly in 2023, and neither shows any signs of slowing down in 2024.

Customers looking to migrate data out of Google Cloud can now do so free of charge. Will Microsoft and Amazon Web Services follow suit?

DNS is one of the most fundamental areas of networking and it could be at risk in a post-quantum era. It's a challenge that Verisign is taking aim at

Recently announced job cuts will impact around 5% of Dish Network's workforce.

The partnership will see IBM deploy its Hybrid Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift capabilities into the tower giant’s neutral-host sites.

HPE has tried multiple times over the last two decades to emerge as a leading networking vendor. The Juniper deal is its latest and biggest foray.

"Telcos should be selective when committing to any joint go-to-market initiatives with hyperscalers and other partners,” Omdia's Andreas Olah said.

“Outside of Cisco, I don’t see anyone else in 2024 being able to dethrone Zscaler from its leadership position," Dell’Oro's Mauricio Sanchez said.

Increasingly consultants and professional services firms are a core part of many organizations' secure access service edge adoption and deployment success.
