“My personal, anecdotal experiences this last year has been a lot of the emotional, visceral reactions to what's happened," Red Hat's Andrew Sullivan said.

A recent enterprise survey and report from William Blair found “Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware continued to be disruptive for partners and customers alike."

Without a master plan, integrating diverse artificial intelligence development and security tools becomes a complex and costly endeavor.

Broadcom also launched a pair of high-end VeloCloud SD-WAN edge devices that are targeted at high-scale and artificial intelligence needs.

“As you go into enterprise [artificial intelligence], we expect to place a more prominent role,” CEO Pat Gelsinger said.

But logistical challenges remain.

That attentiveness could be critical to Broadcom maintaining positive sentiment from its customers, many of whom are suffering through sticker shock.

Cisco’s work with McLaren allows it to test equipment and services in stressful situations, which can then help prove performance for other environments.

Generative artificial intelligence has enormous potential to transform organizations, but its success will hinge on the adaptability of data engineering teams.

Why network-as-a-service providers are better positioned to meet enterprise cloudification needs when transitioning from on-premises to cloud-based networking.

Analysys Mason's Gorkem Yigit noted that while the multicloud networking market “is expanding, it has lost some of the initial momentum.”

Verizon and T-Mobile US also initiated new connection goals that show continued consumer and enterprise growth expectations

Ericsson is riding some telecom momentum, while Nokia continues to struggle in that space and is looking at alternative verticals to drive future growth.

Gartner noted that the top seven SD-WAN vendors accounted for two-thirds of the market.

A lot of businesses stick with legacy IT systems because they’re familiar – without realizing the true cost of delaying IT upgrades.

Gartner noted that VMware concerns will result in half of enterprises over the next couple of years initiating plans for an alternative vendor.

Gartner’s latest SD-WAN ranking also included Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Versa Networks, and Palo Alto Networks in the “leaders” quadrant.

A strategic secure access service edge approach goes beyond security and network convergence. It unlocks a transformative power for the entire business.

Too often, security checks happen at the final stages of development – but it’s time for cybersecurity to shift left and flag vulnerabilities earlier.

Analyst firms are predicting the increased use of artificial intelligence will drive data center power requirements through the roof.

A GSMA Intelligence report found 24% of operators view hyperscalers as formidable competitors in edge networking and cloud

“The interesting thing about enterprises is they actually use a lot less data than consumers do,” UScellular CEO Laurent Therivel said.

“It's going to enable businesses that have a need for a private network, but only on a temporary basis," T-Mobile US' Mishka Dehghan said.

As valuable as zero-trust network access can be on its own, it’s even more powerful when it’s managed as part of a larger secure access service edge.
