The world’s largest public cloud provider is not looking to invest in one vendor or software provider so it can push network operators in that direction, AWS' David Brown

Ericsson and Samsung worked through their patent issues; ex-White House cybersecurity advisor Kiersten Todt talks challenges; and this week's SDxCentral 2-Minute Weekly Wrap podcast.

What the Dish 5G deal means for AWS and its rivals, and IBM plugs a chip first.

The new chip will be pivotal to reducing data centers' carbon footprint and enabling new technologies like 5G, 6G, and autonomous driving, according to IBM.

Analysts conclude that the contract between the public cloud leader and Dish is a major win for AWS as it strives to earn broad business with network operators.

VMware's zero-carbon cloud plan takes off with Microsoft and IBM; Sophos makes the EDR to XDR leap; and IBM adds zero trust and SASE with Zscaler.

The networking vendor posted robust revenues during Q1 2021, despite an ongoing semiconductor shortage that has pushed lead times to a year for critical components.

The cloud raises "very interesting prospects for our business as it relates to being able to ultimately serve enterprise customers with networking as a service,” T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert

"At the end of day, with Apex we're creating the new Dell, and everything's got to transform to make that happen," Dell's Sam Grocott said.

Intel plunked $3.5 billion into New Mexico foundry; Aryaka acquired Secucloud to expand its SASE platform; and Red Hat opened up StackRox community.

While RedHat hasn’t decided which group will ultimately assume governance of the open source project, it sounds like CNCF, which also houses Kubernetes, is a safe bet.

“Today is a proof point of the transformation of that core to a cloud-first, modern operational experience of our storage business,” HPE's Tom Black said.

The cash infusion will the Rio Rancho campus retrofitted to enable semiconductor production using the chipmaker's Foveros 3D packaging technology.

The Konveyor Project is an overarching platform that includes several components targeted at various migration models focused on re-hosting, re-platforming, or re-factoring legacy applications.

The SD-WAN vendor plans to integrate Secucloud's secure web gateway and cloud-based firewalls into a managed SASE aimed at small to midsize business.

“I think AWS is certainly in the driver’s seat at the moment of this market without question,” CCS Insight's Nick McQuire said.

Nokia’s RAN boss reflected on 5G misfires; Dell will sell Boomi for $4 billion; and Data Theorem said security needs a seat at the adults' table.

At the core of the Oracle Analytics Cloud refresh is its new Redwood user interface that will eventually be employed across the entire applications portfolio.
