As we enter the dog days of summer, we'll keep you current and in the know for those water cooler discussions that ramp up in September about new technologies — and companies that may help you meet your second-half goals. This week's collection is mostly networking, security and data center technologies sprinkled with a cyber risk insurance company (we all need that, right?) and a silicon tools supplier.

This week's favorite: Omnion Power. These guys take care of that complicated power distribution management for 5G base stations, edge computing deployment locations and data centers.

Honorable mention: Cowbell Cyber. How can you not love the name? They are using AI to solve cyber risk and insurance issues.

Check out the rest below.
