Nvidia eyed data center dominance | VMware hunted zombies and summoned a sustainability second wave; and Supermicro mounted a 5G strategy.

“Every year on our birthday, we give back with a series of product announcements of things that we can do that make the internet as a whole better,” CEO

The work targets technical support issues at manufacturing plants that can’t be resolved by sending a technician overseas due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Intel committed to the preservation of U.S. semiconductor leadership, but the chipmaker stopped short of announcing new U.S. facilities.

Intel claims to be the leading network silicon provider and has its sights set on becoming the largest provider of base station silicon by 2021.

“When you have cloud-native capabilities, it’s very easy to change some microservices or some capabilities without impacting the whole chain," Dish Network's Marc Rouanne said.

Cisco’s Liz Centoni said Portshift will help customers enable DevSecOps and build security constructs into cloud-native applications early in the lifecycle.

HPE’s HCI scorched Dell, Nutanix; Samsung stung Nokia with Verizon 5G deal; and Red Hat scored a 5G deal.

The project aims to provide a consistent management platform for distributed compute across multiple accelerators using smartNICs.

The security vendor has reportedly been mulling either a return to the public markets or a sale for more than a year.

VMware's CEO shared the company's top M&A targets; Arista bridged IoT and edge; and Forcepoint promised to extra SASE security.

AMD SEV-ES provides hardware layer encryption of memory and CPU registers.

Who will VMware buy next? “If I really answered that, I’d have to shoot you,” CEO Pat Gelsinger said.

The lightweight agent actively monitors users for suspicious or malicious behavior and applies policies accordingly.

VMware bolsters SASE security with SaltStack buy; AT&T disaggregated routing; and Juniper jumped on Netrounds.

The AWS move is significant as both VMware’s Cloud on AWS and Tanzu have been significant interest drivers for the vendor.

The combination of Lightbits Labs’ NVMe-over-TCP with Intel products will provide an "optimized software and hardware" offering, the vendors said.

VMware integrated Menlo Security technologies into its SASE platform and started talking about its extended detection and response strategy today at VMworld.

The acquisition will bolster Juniper in allowing service providers to identify and remediate network disruptions.

“We have now deployed a next generation IP MPLS core routing platform into our production network based on this open software,” AT&T CTO Andre Fuetsch said.

Arista bought Awake for NDR security; Red Hat scored a Samsung OpenShift 5G Deal; and VMware needs to make a SASE security purchase.

VMware needs to think outside the virtual machine if it wants to compete in the SASE space, said Zeus Kerravala of ZK Research.

“We're not quite there yet with all the pieces in the open RAN," said Ian Hood, chief technologist at Red Hat.

Incumbent leaders, VMware and Silver Peak, were joined by Versa, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Cisco as "leaders" in the 2020 Gartner WAN Edge Magic Quadrant report.
