Misconfiguration, a widespread threat that requires a low level of sophistication, tops the list.

Amazon’s public cloud grew 34% compared to last year. Analysts had expected about 30% growth from AWS during the quarter.

“We are rebalancing some areas of our business to align to our top growth priorities,” a VMware spokesperson said.

Azure revenue grew 62% during the quarter, which was down from 76% revenue growth a year ago, but up from 59% growth in Q1.

Densify, a startup that makes cloud and container resource management software, accused VMware of copying its technology.

The software release also includes extended enterprise-class support for the SONiC open source network operating system.

The new HyperFlex Application Platform is an integrated, managed Kubernetes service deployed on Cisco’s hyperconverged infrastructure.

“The network has expanded to the operational side of the business because of digitization,” said IoT Director Joe Malenfant.

Looking ahead to 2020, “our top priority is becoming the unquestioned leader" in cloud-based network detection and response, CEO Arif Kareem said.

The motion comes as the U.S. Navy is moving its largest enterprise resource planning system to the AWS cloud.

Several incumbent networking players, including Cisco, Dell Technologies, VMware, Juniper Networks, and Extreme Networks held “multiple meetings” with Big Switch.

The security startup has about a dozen paying customers and is “working with some of the largest service providers,” said CEO Guru Pai.

This move Cisco another step closer to fully automated, self-correcting networks, or what the vendor and others call intent-based networking.

Almost 40 vulnerabilities with a 9.8 severity rating can be exploited over a network without requiring user credentials. So can dozens of others with lesser severity ratings.

“If they hired Peter Leav they are setting up to sell,” said analyst Zeus Kerravala.

Telstra’s new API integration with Equinix means its enterprise customers can directly connect to more than 170 service providers.

Equinix dominates the colocation market with more than 200 data centers in 55 markets globally. But these are typically huge facilities located in major internet hubs.

Over the weekend two groups released proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit codes for this vulnerability on Github. Citrix said it will issue a fix later this month.

“We need to figure out how [edge] impacts how we execute our business,” Charles Meyers said.

Anana wanted to automated infrastructure to unify its two data centers and provide more agile service delivery for its customers.

The business unit had a long list of “potential suitors,” said Symantec’s John Lioanto. “No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 on the list were Accenture. So for us

“Beginning in the next 24 hours you will see cyberattacks manifesting as a harbinger for kinetics attacks,” said VMware Carbon Black’s Tom Kellermann.

The deal marks the year’s first cybersecurity acquisition and the largest-ever enterprise IoT security software acquisition.

Dell acquired the cybersecurity software company when it bought EMC in 2016. Since then it has beefed up its other security products and services.
