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.

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

Chip shortages may thwart the recovering campus switching market; Nokia releases massive MIMO 5G radios; and Rakuten links Cisco's Acacia pluggable optics to 5G SA core.

Rakuten claims the new architecture allows it to deploy services in 40 days, compared to 100 days today, and reduce power consumption by almost 30%.

The release marks another milestone in Nokia’s years-long effort to dig itself out of early misfires on 5G silicon.

The campus switching market is on the mend, but the supply chain shortages could throw a wrench in its recovery, Dell'Oro's Sameh Boujelbene said.

Arm announced technical specifications for its Confidential Compute Architecture; Illumio reached a $2.75 billion valuation; and ONF shared three branches of its private network project.

SD-Core and SD-Fabric join the previously announced SD-RAN project, comprising the three primary layers of ONF’s project for private network architecture.

“We can’t just spend all that money on detection and assume we’re gonna catch everything, because the math no longer works,” Illumio CEO Andrew Rubin said.

Cato launches its new managed detection and response platform; Red Hat reveals an open RAN bridge for 5G operators; and T-Mobile expands its 5G coverage to 150 million people.

The shakeup marks the first major restructuring since former VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger was installed as CEO and the latest high-profile departure from VMware.

The operator beat its low-band 5G network goals by six months and remains on track to reach at least 200 million people with mid-band 5G coverage by the end

Red Hat said it developed a “bridge for customers to embrace the open RAN movement” with an open, horizontal, cloud-native software platform.

The MDR platform ties directly into Cato's SASE offering and threat intelligence database to detect and mitigate threats at the network level.

Red Hat is using two variants of Intel’s Smart Edge in OpenShift; Ericsson teases late 2022 mid-band vRAN support; and Splunk security cloud adds threat intel and automated responses.

HPE will ship GreenLake servers with Intel CPUs that have had their cores and memory disabled. Customers can reenable these resources on-demand for an additional fee.

The company also announced a series of rugged and value-focused switches and added IoT monitoring capabilities to its Aruba Central management platform.

The architecture includes processors, accelerators, Ethernet adaptors, memory, software toolkits and blueprints traversing the core, access, and edge of networks.

“The significance to me is this at least gives everybody something to look at," Omdia analyst Daryl Schoolar said.

KDDI expects to yield a 70% reduction in baseband cooling system energy consumption compared to traditional gas coolant based air-cooling systems.

“Some of these are going to take several years, two to three years to actually complete,” Ericsson's Bill Chotiner said.

Are AWS, Google, and Microsoft's telco software flawed?; Oracle's Ellison keeps pressure on SAP; Dish buys into Dell’s full telecom kit.

Dell Technologies will provide Dish with an “edge network infrastructure foundation” for devices, software, and services running at the edge.
