Building a SASE requires expertise in networking and cloud-based security. Buying one can be prohibitively expensive, but that hasn't stopped some vendors from doing just that.

Combining HyperFlex and Cohesity creates a data management platform of hyperconverged hardware and software, said Cisco's Jawwad Memon.

Flexibility is an attractive outcome of network virtualization

“GreenLake services orders grew at a record 82% year over year,” CEO Antonio Neri said. “We believe this is faster than the overall growth of public cloud vendors.”

Google fashioned Anthos for hybrid cloud battle; ONF picked up O-RAN slack; and Palo Alto Networks paid $265 million for Crypsis.

The vendors will integrate Snyk’s open source vulnerability detection into Trend Micro’s cloud security platform to help security operations teams better manage open source risk.

The security vendor's software and subscription security products helped the vendor overcome flat product billings during the quarter.

The cloud giant also launched its Cloud App Modernization Program that helps map out an organization's upgrade path using Google's cadre of cloud products.

TSMC and Microsoft claim they can fuel a new category of electronics design automation workloads by boosting computational power in the cloud.

RAN vendor influence in the O-RAN Alliance is effectively precluding operators from directing the work as originally intended, ONF's Timon Sloane said.

McAfee made SD-WAN more SASE; GSMA gave security approval to Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, ZTE; and Dell shared Earth Overshoot Day respect.

"Each of those branches is going to have an endpoint anyway. At the flow level it's almost criminal not to take advantage of that," said McAfee's Sadik Al-Abdulla.

The pandemic fueled a cybersecurity push; Fortinet claimed SASE superiority; and Cisco squashed a critical WAN software bug.

The vendor is breaking from the norm and building security into every component of its SASE offering.

Cloud-native technology is the only and right approach to get a large number of enterprises onto mobile networks at a massive scale, said Zeeshan Najmuddin, analyst at ACG Research.

Cisco smashed SD-WAN, Kubernetes into CN-WAN; ZTE powered China Mobile's 5G core network; and Versa widened its SD-WAN net.

AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) enables users to leverage Kubernetes for more control over AWS service resources.

The project allows DevOps teams to tag the WAN needs of their Kubernetes-managed microservices clusters so they can be mapped to the SD-WAN controller.

Versa will supply the SD-WAN while Telesystem will provide operational support to the Telarus agent community.

Nokia's wobbly Verizon footing grew shakier; Lumina Networks lights went out; and Fungible DPU drew Juniper, Samsung, Alibaba accolades.

The vendor dipped its toes into the SASE waters in January with the launch of Cloudflare for Teams.

The SlashData and CNCF survey also found that somehow 14% of backend developers had not heard of Kubernetes, compared to just 5% that had not heard of containers.

Early benchmarks show ThunderX3 performing 30% better in single-threaded workloads and up to 300% better in multi-threaded workloads compared to ThunderX2.

Megaport Virtual Edge hosts Cisco’s SD-WAN, Red Hat’s OpenShift 4.5 update gains more management, automation is set to boost operator opex.
