Dell'Oro Group forecasts that sluggish adoption of 5G standalone network cores by operators will stunt multi-access edge computing investments through 2025.

SASE has reached 5% to 20% of market penetration among its target audience in the nearly two years since its inception.

VMware's Project Monterey moved into early access; the U.S. government partnered with Google, AWS, and others to fight cyberthreats; and Verizon expanded its 5G edge deployment.

The project aims to provide a consistent management platform for distributed compute across multiple hardware accelerators using DPUs like those supplied by Intel and Nvidia.

“If I had to make a choice between a firewall and an MFA solution I would take the MFA solution,” noted Cisco's Matt Olney.

Arista posted strong Q2 earnings; Cisco patched a firewall vulnerability; and 86% of organizations expect a serious cyberattack.

The EPA updated its Green Power Partnership rankings, and many familiar cloud and telecom names, including Google, Microsoft, and Intel, sit at the top.

The deal is valued at more than $1 billion and brings another core open RAN component under Rakuten's umbrella.

The networking vendor warned of slipping lead times and skyrocketing product costs as a result of the ongoing semiconductor shortage.

AWS, Microsoft, and Google ate up most of the Q2 cloud market; McAfee built its own ZTNA; and Alkira’s Cloud Services Exchange platform is now available.

The acquisition adds to Marvell’s already extensive Ethernet switching portfolio and the company expects Innovium’s switch portfolio to benefit its recent acquisition of Inphi.

The multi-cloud vendor's Cloud Services Exchange platform is now available on the public cloud provider's marketplace.

The launch continues the vendor's Connected Security strategy that involves enforcing security policies at every connection point across the network: switches, firewalls, routers, public and private cloud, and endpoints.

The move comes about four months after McAfee announced integrations with three ZTNA vendors, Appgate, Axis Security, and TransientX, so it could add this key technology to its SASE

“You would not normally expect to see growth rates actually increasing in such a huge and rapidly developing market, yet once again that is what our research has shown,”

Intel introduced new branding; Cisco invested in 25 cybersecurity companies; and Google is helping organizations reduce supply chain impacts.

OnSpecta's AI acceleration platform promises to boost Ampere's inference processing performance by more than 400%.

The new tool utilizes detailed data insights and tools like machine learning and satellite imagery to develop models on how to track and act upon supply chain metrics.

Cisco has invested in about 25 cybersecurity companies over the past decade and has an active portfolio of 15 companies.

Fortinet reports continued growth in Q2; AWS sales hit $14.8B in a 37% year over year jump; and T-Mobile's low-band 5G network now covers 305 million people.

"We’ve seen AWS growth reaccelerate as more companies bring forward plans to transform their businesses and move to the cloud,” CEO Andy Jassy said.

The move is predicated on vocal demand from customers and allows both vendors to better target rivals like VMware.

CEO Rami Rahim cited panic buying related to the ongoing semiconductor shortage as a potential headwind going into the third quarter.

Google Cloud revenue hits $4.6B in Q2; Microsoft Azure revenue grew 51% year over year; and AMD doubled its Q2 revenue.
