Thomas Noren, head of Ericsson’s dedicated networks business, described Ericsson Private 5G as “a scaled down version of a mobile network” that can be integrated with enterprise IT systems.

Deutsche Telekom activated its “O-RAN Town;” Cisco closed its Kenna Security acquisition; and June’s hirings, firings, and retirings shook up industry exec teams.

Software security alone is no longer sufficient to protect users from cyberthreats, but silicon can help, Intel's Mike Nordquist said.

Deutsche Telekom kicked off the event by activating its “O-RAN Town” in Neubrandenburg, Germany, with sites supporting massive multiple-input, multiple-output technology.

Whitehurst previously served as CEO of Red Hat before IBM's $34 billion acquisition of his firm.

While Apple has relied on TSMC for years, it remains to be seen which Intel products will be produced by the Taiwan-based foundry operator.

“Expect Dell to announce soon that it also acquired or partnered with a best-of-breed CDM tool or at least improved one of the tools in its portfolio,” Forrester analyst

AT&T sold its Network Cloud technology to Microsoft; Intel delayed its next-gen data center chips; and the Ransomware Task Force received a $450,000 donation.

Despite the delay, Intel will still beat rival AMD to PCIe Gen 5.0, CXL, and DDR5 Memory when Sapphire Rapids launches in the first quarter of 2022.

Cisco hired Stephen Augustus as its first head of open source; CEOs of Nvidia and Arm discussed their merger; and Cisco released IoT edge routers.

The underlying trend and realization AT&T confronted is clear: mobile network operators, no matter how invested and talented in cloud computing, are no match for the might of hyperscalers.

SD-WAN and SASE adoption exploded in the wake of the pandemic, and today's funding round throws fuel on the fire, the company said.

“I think telecommunications is being reinvented in front of us,” incoming AWS CEO Adam Selipsky said.

5G and SASE can help managed service providers drive revenues; European telecom CEOs kicked off MWC Barcelona; and “tectonic forces” are shaping the future of telecom.

Amazon Web Services remained the largest infrastructure-as-a-service provider in 2020, but Microsoft, Alibaba, Google, and Huawei gained traction in the growing IaaS market.

Ericsson, like Nokia, expanded its partnership with Google Cloud after previous activities involving network operators’ migration to cloud-native, container-based services.

Palo Alto Networks believes a combination of 5G network slicing and SASE will drive service provider revenues and address a rapidly changing threat landscape.

Vodafone confirmed 100% renewable energy usage in Europe beginning July 1; Nutanix’s CEO eyes a $61B market opportunity; and Dell’s Omnia automates HPC.

This isn’t a pivot for the SDN pioneer, but rather an “expansion of the field of view,” said CTO and co-founder Brandon Heller.

"We are going to focus on what we refer to as the 5G physical layer, or 5G layer one of the protocol stack,” Qualcomm's Gerardo Giaretta said.

The chipmaker says data processing units have a place everywhere in the network, not just in the data center.

The company also extended support for multi-tenant VMware environments to its HPC on-Demand platform.

During its investor event this week, CEO Rajiv Ramaswami for the first time said Nutanix expects to be cash-flow positive by the second half of calendar 2022.

The program provides users with up to a 33% reward that can be used on Oracle’s support services based on new commitments to buy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.
