Parallel Wireless, one of Mavenir’s strongest competitors in the open RAN market, previously claimed to be the only open RAN vendor with 2G and 3G capabilities.

Awake CEO Rahul Kashyap recently bragged that his company’s network detection and response platform continues stealing customers from Arista’s arch-rival Cisco.

“We're not quite there yet with all the pieces in the open RAN," said Ian Hood, chief technologist at Red Hat.

Incumbent leaders, VMware and Silver Peak, were joined by Versa, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Cisco as "leaders" in the 2020 Gartner WAN Edge Magic Quadrant report.

Dell insists its hybrid-cloud strategy is a win; Palo Alto Networks SASE taps Microsoft; and Intel recycled 1 billion gallons of water.

“The second half of 2020 is increasingly looking like it may be worse than the first," MTN Consulting's Matt Walker said.

The integration aims to simplify identity-based policy enforcement when using Palo Alto's Prisma Access and Prisma Cloud platforms.

Intel has pledged to achieve net positive water use by 2030 through conserving 60 billion gallons of water and funding external water restoration projects.

AT&T set a 5G standalone timeline; T-Mobile tapped Dell, VMware for 5G a lab; and Google Cloud added threat detection.

The new service allows customers to apply security policies consistently, regardless of where the application is running or how the user is connected.

“The stakes of this are high, and 5G will determine whether the next Google, Apple, Amazon, and Uber of the world is created here in the U.S. or abroad,"

“We’re going to start deploying later this year and we’re definitely going to scale standalone in June 2021,” AT&T's Igal Elbaz said.

AT&T taps Microsoft Azure for security; Cisco boosts Microsoft's on-ramps; and Intel looks to the edge.

XDR is a newish approach to threat detection and response that Gartner called a top security and risk management trend of 2020.

The combination is the first to come from a wide-ranging “cloud” agreement announced last year between the two companies.

The improvements seek to address challenges faced by customers using Microsoft’s Office 365 platform.

The chipmaker claims the new products are in response to pervasive IoT challenges around edge complexity, cost, and impacts on the environment.

The deployment, which debuted in Atlanta and Pittsburgh, will eventually reach nationwide scale but not until Vapor IO completes its colocation installations around the country.

HPE scorched Dell, Nutanix in hyperconverged revenue growth; Synchronoss CEO resigned; and IBM put a price tag on cyber risk.

“Microsoft realizes the world is going hybrid, multi, and they want to be the guardian of these combined estate via their own control plane," said Gartner's Sid Nag.

“We’ll get to open RAN when the time is right and the opportunity makes sense for us," T-Mobile's Neville Ray said.

The cloud-based messaging and IoT vendor declined to share more details about the allegations, but the abrupt departure followed an investigation by the company’s board

Arm's Neoverse V1 seeks to provide the highest performance per thread while the updated N2 aims for the greatest scalability per watt.

VMware SD-WAN, SASE expanded at Equinix; Cisco named election disinformation as a top concern; and IT professionals shared COVID-19 woes.
