5G adoption was “at the forefront of everyone’s attention,” but that attention was increasingly on ways it can be better monetized by operators.

The networking landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, leaving behind legacy vendors as users embrace change and drive towards a future of flexibility.

The tests echoed what has been a rash of 5G network-focused API efforts from operators around the world.

“One possibility here is ... it would be biased in favor of the [existing] HPE solution, and to migrate Juniper customers over time,” Mauricio Sanchez said.

“I'm approaching this year, like I do every year, as a big year, and I'm excited for it," Verizon Business SVP Scott Lawrence said.

Executives from both companies have downplayed the risk of overlap across the respective portfolios, but how do their security and secure access service edge (SASE) portfolios actually compare?

SDxCentral looks at HPE's and Juniper Networks' networking portfolios. Naturally, there is some overlap, but how significant is it?

With many different cloud providers and ways to connect to the cloud, Verizon is aiming to cure the multicloud headache for enterprise customers.

The terminated distribution agreement came as Broadcom readies to launch a controversial new partner program and discontinues many standalone VMware products.

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Outdated approaches to networks and security are crumbling, vendors are consolidating and new players are emerging – who's best-positioned to come out on top?

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

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

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

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

“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.

In the tech world, every year is the year of something. And in 2023, artificial intelligence took its turn to grab the headlines.

With 2024 around the corner, here is a recap of our most popular networking coverage from the year – spanning Broadcom, Cloudflare, AMD and Cisco.

Key trends and predictions that will reshape enterprise networks over the next year include automation, cloud enhancements and new types of SASE deployments.

At the top of the list is Cisco's landmark $28 billion acquisition of Splunk.

In the new year, we're watching out for tech giants' efforts on grid modernization, renewable energy and liquid cooling technologies.
