The U.K. systems integrator will use elements of ADVA's Ensemble software, gaining access to 50 VNFs including SD-WAN optimization.

SK Telecom has during the last couple months inked collaborative development deals with Microsoft, Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, LG, and now Deutsche Telekom.

The combined entity will count about 60,000 customers and bolster its No. 3 position in the global WiFi equipment market behind Cisco and HPE.

For the first time IDC expanded its definition of HCI systems, adding a “new breed” called disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure and saying that NetApp HCI is an example of this.

The China-based vendor has the strongest 5G mobile base station portfolio, according to a new report, as Huawei claims to have built two-thirds of commercially launched 5G networks.

The vendor also announced a new access point that is cloud-managed and based on the new WiFi 6 standard.

Network operators are "trying to create an environment where innovation can happen at their benefit, not their behest," says Ericsson's Kyle Okamoto.

The cloud giant kicked off its inaugural re:Inforce security conference today and announced the general availability of two new services: Control Tower and Security Hub.

CenturyLink also connects to Microsoft Azure and Equinix expands its collaboration with IBM Cloud to support hybrid cloud deployments.

5G will facilitate network operators' transition from connectivity service providers to digital service providers, says Phil Twist, vice president of networks marketing at Nokia.

The joint product, which combines AT&T multi-access edge compute services and HPE’s converged edge systems, targets customers in manufacturing, healthcare, and stadiums.

The company's software-defined storage platform is built on AWS, and late last year it partnered with the cloud giant to offer Druva Cloud Platform on AWS Snowball Edge.

According to NSS Labs' testing methodology, Silver Peak's SD-WAN product was 1,623% more expensive that Fortinet's platform.

“Kubernetes is front and center of the partnership as all of these changes are predicated by the massive developer adoption of Kubernetes,” said Cisco's Kaustubh Das.

SD-WAN capabilities can address networking and security between the branch and clouds or the data center, but it doesn’t necessarily address IoT devices and connections.

The vendor also introduced a new high-end, mission-critical storage platform called Primera. It comes with a 100% availability guaranteed.

GCI and Ericsson plan to bring 5G service to Alaska in the first half of 2020.

HPE’s consumption-based infrastructure and services portfolio, GreenLake, boasts more than $2.8 billion in total contract value and more than 600 customers.

The latest update comes on the heels of Aqua's rival Twistlock being acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $410 million.

Cloudian is expanding S3-based object storage for VMware shops that want to offer services for backup, archiving, disaster recovery, big data, containers, and software development.

It’s based on technology that VMware acquired when it bought public cloud security startup CloudCoreo last year.

The startup’s earlier AI chip is called Goya, and Facebook uses this inference processor for its Glow machine learning compiler.

It uses the vendor’s Open5G Platform edge software stack and enables network operators and application providers to plug into the platform and bring applications and services.

Despite the Versa deal, Riverbed plans to continue to offer its SteelConnect platform while leveraging its new partner for “larger scale enterprise deployments.”
