“I think it’s going to play out over a longer period of time than people currently anticipate,” Equinix CEO Charles Meyers said.

Fortinet extended free security training; SolarWinds was sued over Russian hack; and Cisco touted SD-WAN for home workers.

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.

A SolarWinds investor filed a class-action lawsuit against the software vendor alleging that its executives failed to disclose security vulnerabilities that led up to the massive attack.

Fortinet extended its free security training indefinitely after receiving more than 800,000 registrations since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

“And now we have two of the three largest OEMs — HPE and Cisco — adopting and supporting Open19,” said Open19 Foundation president Zachary Smith.

ABI Research recently flipped its proverbial crystal ball upside down and refreshingly predicted a series of outcomes that will not occur in 2021.

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

Most operators experienced slight declines in revenue growth and flat profit margins, but much of their business was unaffected by the COVID-19 crisis.

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

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.

The world’s biggest technology vendors’ battles boiled over in 2020, and this year the feuds stretched from the clouds to court and even to a galaxy far, far away.

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.

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

VMware slapped Nutanix's new CEO with a lawsuit; Hyperscalers hastened their 5G takeover in 2020; and SAP’s Qualtrics filed IPO plans.

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.

Cisco, VMware scooped up Kubernetes startups in 2020; 5G gained and wained in 2020; and IBM, Nokia, and Cisco were among vendors that slashed jobs.

The new offering embeds an AWS compute and storage platform at the edge of SK Telecom's 5G network to support latency-sensitive code running at the edge.

Tens of thousands of jobs were cut this year across the SDN and cloud ecosystem as vendors grappled with the financial fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
