The cloud-based software added to Mavenir’s portfolio include platforms for webscale deployments, AI and analytics, multi-access edge computing, and digital enablement.

Juniper Networks acquired Apstra; Cisco bought IMImobile, Slido to boost Webex; Microsoft security execs scored $100 million, launched Wiz.

F5 paid $500 million for Volterra; Cisco’s $2.6 billion Acacia deal will head to court; and Red Hat bought Kubernetes security startup StackRox.

The analysts expect cloud computing to pervade 5G networks, including the core, radio access network, and edge, but frames this transition as a years-long effort.

The deal will see Red Hat fold StackRox's security software to its OpenShift Kubernetes platform.

As networking and security vendors look to do it all, service providers question whether customers are even ready for SASE.

“We’re bullish on gaining market share in a $10-billion-plus [total available market] that’s growing faster than any other segment of the security markets,” Lacework CEO Dan Hubbard said.

While remote access technologies may work for most telecommuters, SD-WAN appliances can offer "high-value" workers a better experience, argues Cisco's Jean-Luc Valente.

Data lake unicorns Dremio and Starburst Data raised hundreds of millions of dollars in late-stage funding today to fight the growing data sprawl.

Linux Foundation gobbled Open19; ABI Research said clean 5G, WiFi 6E won’t happen in 2021; and Mavenir bet on hyperscalers over telecoms.

“We don’t necessarily see ourselves as a SASE solution provider. We see ourselves as a SASE solution enabler,” said Nokia Nuage's Lindsay Newell.

“I really do believe the hyperscalers are going to become the new telecom providers going forward," Mavenir's John Baker said.

Cisco, VMware, Nutanix headlined 2020 tech battles; the SolarWinds hack exploded; and Operators exited 2020 unscathed.

Nutanix stole VMware's COO; Cisco’s SVP of security jumped ship for Google Anthos; and Nokia confirmed multiple C-suite departures.

“Google is more likely to become an energy company of the future than a lot of utilities,” predicts LF Energy's Shuli Goodman.

Cisco workers ‘anxious’ about job cuts; Gartner crowned top firewall vendors; and AWS stuffed Cisco SD-WAN into VPC.

IBM slashed thousands of jobs; Aruba Networks swept Cisco from the Pentagon; and Cisco workers were anxious.

5 ransomware predictions to ring in 2021; SD-WAN and SASE predictions for the new year; and Third Point implored Intel to explore external fabs.

Capping off a difficult year for Intel, activist investor Third Point has called on the company to make major changes in order to stay relevant.

The past year, in part because of the pandemic, has been a seminal one for the SD-WAN and SASE markets. Looking ahead, the highly competitive markets show no sign

The lawsuit alleges Ramaswami breached his legal and contractual duties to VMware

The world’s leading cloud providers hastened their collective rise in mobile operator’s 5G networks and business models throughout 2020.

2020 saw some of the biggest names in tech throw their weight and wallets behind sustainability goals to slow the effects of climate change.
