As supply restrictions ease and smartNICs gain traction, adapter shipments should return to double-digit growth in 2022, Dell’Oro Group's Baron Fung forecasts.

Data center Ethernet switch revenue soared 11% year over year; Verizon extended its MEC offering to Google Cloud; and Cybereason launched its XDR platform.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft drove 400 Gb/s Ethernet switch deployments during the third quarter, Dell’Oro Group analysts report.

Cisco added support for Alkira’s multi-cloud networking platform; attackers used Log4j to target 44% of corporate networks; and Sysdig raised $350 million.

Megaport's SDN spans more than 700 connected data centers, service providers, and cloud on ramps, enabling branch-to-branch and branch-to-cloud connectivity.

Rakuten Symphony extends cost transparency only to its customers; the Log4j vulnerability wreaks havoc; and Rockport ditches switches in HPC environments.

Rockport's platform distributes switching functionality to each node in a cluster, forgoing traditional leaf-and-spine topologies in favor of a mesh network.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is expected to share more detail about the facility at a press conference on Wednesday at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Cnvrg extended support for Intel’s Habana Gaudi AI accelerators; Rubrik partnered with Microsoft; and Deutsche Telekom rolled out 5G on Kubernetes.

"The partnership benefits Rubrik by providing access to the broad Azure ecosystem, and to Microsoft by extending their hybrid cloud presence," IDC's Phil Goodwin wrote.

The company claims the integration will promote development on the chipmaker's Habana Gaudi training processors, especially in hybrid-cloud environments.

The partnership comes amid several high-profile customer wins for Kyndryl including RSA, BWM, and Raytheon Technologies.

Zscaler extended its zero-trust security to public cloud workloads; Intel Labs established a new research center; and Liqid raised $100M.

The vendor's latest cellular gateway, the FortiExtender 212F, features dual modems for added redundancy in high-availability deployments.

Disaggregated, composable, and flexible architectures can help increase data centers' utilization rate, Liqid CEO Sumit Puri said.

The research center aims to develop new optical interfaces which offer higher bandwidth and lower power consumption than traditional electrical interconnects.

The managed WAN service has already garnered support from leading SD-WAN vendors: Cisco, VMware, Palo Alto Networks, and Aruba.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s high-performance computing investments are paying off; Amazon Web Services announced AWS IoT TwinMaker at re:Invent.

“Thirty three of the top 100 most powerful supercomputers in the world were built by HPE. This is more than any company,” CEO Antonio Neri boasted.

"Some say we are the AWS of wireless,” Dish Network EVP Marc Rouanne boasted at the event.

AWS' CEO underlined the opportunity that awaits the cloud in every industry; AWS detailed its Graviton3 chips and a private 5G service at re:Invent.

The cyber vault is independently configured, operated, and self-managed. “That provides a reduction in the attack surface when it comes to ransomware attacks," Dell's Rob Emsley said.

"There's no industry that hasn't been touched, and no business that can't be radically disrupted,” AWS CEO Adam Selipsky boasted.

While Trend Micro isn’t as flashy or loquacious as some of its competitors, the cloud security giant decided to use AWS re:Invent as an opportunity to humblebrag.
