COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the WAN; Arctic Wolf plans to IPO this year; and Equinix is developing new data center sustainability tech.

The facility's main areas of focus are direct-to-chip cooling, clean hydrogen fuel cell power, and energy efficiency in data center environments.

Arctic Wolf CEO Nick Schneider said future acquisitions would target incident response, threat intel, endpoint protection, and cloud security.

The pandemic changed more than how and where we work. It turned enterprise networks on their head, Aryaka's annual State of the WAN report found.
