“We have seen that COVID-19 is not stopping customers from their cloud migration projects with customers leaning on VMware Cloud on AWS to meet their needs,” CEO Pat Gelsinger

Cisco got SASE; Nutanix Q3 revenue jumped 11%; and Docker cozied up to Microsoft Azure.

"We are confident that the demand for our products and services will be strong as we emerge from this crisis," CEO Thomas Kurian said.

There is ongoing debate among the big RAN vendors around the use of commoditized hardware and interfaces to program the RAN.

Wound-licking Cisco targeted the next cloud computing wave; Nokia cried foul on rivals' 800G claims; and Juniper scored Contrail win.

Quarkus is a Kubernetes native Java framework that allows the programming language to be more easily used in Kubernetes or serverless environments.

The network integrator needed a management platform that would allow it to configure tenants across OpenStack and VMware environments.

IBM slashed thousands of jobs; Juniper claimed wins over Cisco; and Nokia made moves on Open RAN.

Nokia continues to stand out in supporting open RAN efforts by joining more collaborative bodies than its closest competitors Ericsson and Huawei.

An open source alternative to proprietary SD-WANs could become the de facto industry standard, said TechVision Research analyst Sorell Slaymaker.

Cisco pushed ACI for 5G; Microsoft released a preview of Azure Arc over Kubernetes clusters; and Nokia rolled out WaveFabric.

The Kubernetes aspect allows users to attach and configure Kubernetes clusters inside or outside of Azure.

StackRox’s Kubernetes Security Platform aims to help DevOps and security teams visualize all deployments and pods across namespaces and clusters.

Rancher Academy teaches students how to build a strategy and deliver Kubernetes-as-a-service in their organizations.

Priority No. 1 is to continue consolidating endpoint protection and cloud workload protection capabilities onto its platform.

"In general, we are not seeing any side effects of the epidemic" and no impact on 5G construction, Rakuten Mobile's Tareq Amin told SDxCentral last month.

The release features new ingress gateway, terminating gateway, and WAN federation over mesh gateway tools to enable an incremental migration to service mesh.

Microsoft Azure gained similar capabilities last year.

It also formed a coalition with leading SIEM and SOAR providers Splunk, IBM Security, Google Cloud’s Chronicle, Exabeam, and Sumo Logic.

A year after announcing the open source project at the OCP Summit, Microsoft contributed Project Cerberus source code and tools.

AT&T warned of 5G Impact from COVID-19; Trump rallied US chip firms to end reliance on Asia; and Nutanix HCI automated disaster recovery.

Dell and Apstra targeted enterprise SONiC adoption with networking hardware, software, and enterprise-grade technical support.

The update also highlights the ongoing activity behind the widely used software infrastructure layer that continues to trade on its robustness compared to newer options.

The program will continually test and certify compliance with ONF’s open source software projects and OCP-recognized open hardware.
