VP Philippe Poggianti pointed to a significant uptick in spectrum allocation and deployments globally as evidence of its growing presence.

Engineers have been surprisingly successful at putting off co-packaged optics almost indefinitely, Nvidia's Kevin Deierling said.

The new platform is targeted at hyperscalers that need to support high-demand security, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence workloads.

Private networks require specialized industry-specific expertise and present opportunities for all types of players.

Many large enterprises may prefer to buy security service edge and SD-WAN products separately, Gartner's Charlie Winckless said.

An MIT study identified a 13% average quit rate for the enterprise software industry, but analysts credit that trend to the skilled developer shortage.

“Cloud AI is a big differentiator for Juniper right now because we do have a clean foundation to work on,” compared to Cisco and Aruba, Juniper's Bob Friday said.

New threat reports from Trend Micro, McAfee, and Menlo Security put mobile security in sharp focus and indicate that IoT devices and industrial systems are increasingly at risk.

“Enterprises are looking to us, not just for mobility needs, but also for more advanced network solutions that 5G can bring to the table," T-Mobile's John Saw said.

Competing motivations are abundant in open RAN, and most of these groups are shoving the technology in a direction that best serves the goals of those leading the charge.

The scant presence of open source in RAN causes lament among some open RAN proponents.

For every positive associated with low-, mid-, and high-band spectrum, there are just as many negatives.

A look at how open source intersects with SD-WAN, how openness could help, and whether open source will come to the networking tech.

Long time passing. Where have all the SDN Controllers gone? Long time ago.

IT organizations complain that the lack of SDN-specific skills among engineers is resulting in a slow transition to virtualization but engineers don’t have much incentive to get those skills.

European test lab EANTC tested several SD-WAN vendors solutions and compared their scalability and performance.

Networking professionals no longer can only have a limited scope of skills. The addition of other certifications will mean more career growth and more pay.

From Adtran to ZTE, cable and telco vendors alike are beginning to reap the benefits of SDN and virtualization with the development of software-defined access solutions and propositions.

SDN technologies are diverse, making it difficult for network engineers to know what technologies they should learn to master.

The idea that SD-WAN will make MPLS obsolete plays on the frustrations of enterprise IT professionals that are dissatisfied with their current WAN provider and want to kick them

Newly released SDxCentral 2018 report on the VNF Ecosystem finds SD-WAN and vCPE are top use cases for NFV and the driving force behind service providers virtualizing their networks.

At a recent 5G panel discussion the audience was asked to raise their hand if they were looking forward to buying a 5G access point this year. Not a

There are several advanced features that make up an enterprise-grade SD-WAN, including load balancing, optimization, and real-time visibility.

Defining a set of security and compliance policies is a key first step. But enforcing security policy is not as easy.
