AT&T warned of 5G Impact from COVID-19; Trump rallied US chip firms to end reliance on Asia; and Nutanix HCI automated disaster recovery.

“Legacy backup and recovery solutions suck – they’re complex, slow, expensive, and offer no path to cloud,” said Rubrik President Dan Rogers.

The U.S. stands a chance of losing its leadership position in the semiconductor space if it insists on tightening restrictions.

It now supports multi-site disaster recovery designs, which use automation to help enterprises more quickly recover from the simultaneous failure of two or more data centers.
