The agreement pairs Lanner's universal CPE hardware with nacXwan’s SD-WAN software stack to provide service providers an affordable, easy-to-deploy SD-WAN platform.

The DevOps monitoring platform extended support to several IBM Cloud services including IBM Watson and Cloud Foundry.

More than 225,000 branch offices have deployed VMware’s SD-WAN, said VMware’s Tom Gillis. “All of a sudden we’re No. 1.”

The carrier is “sizing our operations to economic activity”; VMware is helping Vodafone cut costs; and Snyk sees the pandemic propelling DecSecOps.

Versa Titan promises to simplify the deployment and management of branch offices and make it easier for SMBs to control their WAN costs and improve application performance.

VMware’s network virtualization infrastructure supports voice core, data core, and service platforms on more than 900 virtual network functions.

Chip Childers called the transition “a great moment in time” as Cloud Foundry continues to tighten its embrace of the Kubernetes ecosystem.

The vendor was among the first to take up the SASE sigil, which the company says described its overarching approach to security and networking.

This is also a great time to start a bug bounty program, says Guy Podjarny, founder and president of Snyk.

Cisco secured a deal to buy Fluidmesh Networks; IBM CEO threw down a hybrid-cloud challenge; and DT tapped Palo Alto Networks' managed security services.

A task force made up of computer scientists at Nvidia has joined the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium in an effort to find a vaccine for COVID-19.

That challenge will rely heavily on IBM’s Red Hat business unit, which also received a new leader.

The two companies will offer enterprise customers managed security services for cloud and network as well as managed security operations centers.

Cisco, Hitachi cut hundreds of jobs; Nokia CEO walked the plank; AT&T slashed jobs; plus the latest headcount hirings, promotions, and staff changes.

Wood is no stranger to the SD-WAN market. He joined Versa’s executive team in February after a brief stint at Apstra and three years at Velocloud.

“As the 5G edge unfolds, we’ll start to see more of a marriage between the telcos and hyperscale clouds,” said Nick McQuire, SVP at CCS Insight.

AT&T saw a 700% SD-WAN surge; VMware, FBI warned of cybercriminals targeting teleworkers; and SDxCentral's weekly wrap podcast.

The surge, which is tied to the ongoing COVID-19 virus outbreak, is being managed by the platform's cloud-based nature.

IBM tapped AMD for bare metal cloud; Do Coronavirus SOCs look Like Zoom war rooms?; and Canonical launched a platform to manage away open source complexity.

The work is based on the carrier's Conducktor internal Kubernetes platform.

At the heart of the new offering is AMD’s 96-core EPYC 7642 processors that launched in mid-2019.

The market, which includes hardware, software, and IT services, is now expected to decline at a greater rate than gross domestic product overall, according to IDC.

The vendor's Managed Apps platform can oversee 10 cloud-native systems, including database and logging, monitoring, and alerting applications.

Cisco networking lessons learned during COVID-19; AT&T slashed more jobs; Microsoft topped cloud rankings; and tech wields its might in COVID-19 fight.
