The technology is still in its infancy with only a handful of vendors shipping products. We expect to see more action in 2019.

While the government didn’t name the network providers, Reuters reports that HPE and IBM were among the compromised networks.

It concludes that IT teams are looking to new technologies like artificial intelligence to meet their data center demands.

IoT devices have two types of update mechanisms: an API call or user-initiated update. Phosphorus covers all that with its update-all button for IoT.

The managed firewall, integrated with CenturyLink’s Security Log Monitoring platform, gives companies better threat intelligence capabilities and visibility across their hybrid network environments.

The networking-focused hardware is built for the Open19 Foundation infrastructure platform.

On average, it takes $10,500 for a wish. And the Foundation must balance the need to grant wishes with the need to update its IT infrastructure.

AWS argues that it has a “direct and substantial economic interests at stake.” It says Oracle’s conflict-of-interest accusations are “meritless.”

“SDN is going to be a very broad deployment,” said Telus’ Bryce Mitchell. “We made sure we included SDN within the NFV pods themselves.”

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) once again came in No. 2, with 16.3 percent revenue share or $3.81 billion.

The new converged infrastructure combines IBM’s NVMe flash storage and software with Mellanox networking on Nvidia servers. It also uses Nvidia’s AI software stack.

Oracle’s lawsuit alleges conflicts of interest and says two people involved in the procurement process have close ties to Amazon Web Services.

Adding these policy-based security capabilities to the Pivot3 Intelligence Engine enables customers to integrate data encryption and key management into the same workflow for managing applications and storage.

Data center interconnect equipment revenue will increase 85 percent over the next five years, from $2.7 billion in 2017 to $5.1 billion in 2022, according to Dell’Oro Group.

More than 61 percent of shareholders approved the deal that allows Dell to buy back the stock that tracks its controlling stake in VMware.

The NSX Service Mesh beta will initially support Cloud PKS (formerly known as VMware Kubernetes Engine or VKE), but VMware plans to extend it to any Kubernetes environment.

The year-old startup, founded by former Intel president Renee James, is also partnering with Packet, Cloudflare, and other companies on 5G and edge computing proof of concepts.

“Nobody gets to keep a lock on cloud computing,” Wasabi CEO David Friend said. “As much as Amazon would like to, it’s going to be a multi-cloud world.”

The company has a similar product for Microsoft Azure that is slated to enter beta next year. Google Cloud is on the roadmap for future support.

“Obviously I love my vSAN child. It’s not as important as my NSX child,” VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger said, referring to VMware’s software-defined storage and networking platform, respectively.

It affects all Kubernetes-based products and services, and it gives hackers full administrative privileges on any compute node being run in a Kubernetes cluster.

Almost 900 vendors competed for the 10-year award. The Navy selected six.

Cisco’s SON technology works in multi-vendor deployments based on any combination of cellular technologies. It supports RAN nodes from any major vendor as well as multiple data-source vendors.

“If you have an IoT device and it has any vulnerability and it’s visible from the Internet, it will be attacked in a number of minutes,” said Kevin McNamee,
