“We’re hopeful that it will help shape the industry’s thinking about what does it mean to be a trusted provider,” Cisco’s Chief Privacy Officer Harvey Jang said.

Fugue released an infrastructure as code platform; the Quad pledged to foster open RAN tech; and Gartner analysts say security services should be consolidated.

The expansion stores air-gapped backups in immutable storage with end-to-end data encryption and allows customers to bring their own encryption keys.

“SASE at first might seem like a grand vision but there are absolutely things that you can do to move toward a SASE architecture today,” Gartner's Neil MacDonald said.

Usually, developers and security teams need to use two sets of policies — and two different languages — to secure both infrastructure as code and cloud runtime environments.

“Data storage and management ultimately should be just services, delivered as code, self-managed, using AI,” Pure Storage CPO Ajay Singh said.

Alkira expanded its security portfolio; Cisco is unphased by O-RAN Alliance drama; and Akamai acquired Guardicore for $600 million.

The move marks Fungible’s latest push to bring composable infrastructure to the masses.

Software components tap into Juniper's acquisition of intent-based networking vendor Apstra.

“We’re going to keep doing what we've been doing and all the rest of this stuff will sort itself out as more and more customers deploy open RAN technologies,”

Today’s announcement marks Alkira’s latest security partnership in an approach that Alkira CTO Atif Khan calls “SASE plus plus.”

F5 acquired Threat Stack and other recent SDxCentral news stories.

The work paired IBM's open source Qiskit Runtime and a Dell EMC PowerEdge server to emulate a quantum computer on standard x86 hardware.

What does it take to win in the hyper-competitive SD-WAN market? According to Gartner, a robust SASE strategy isn't a bad place to start.

Peplink, Nuage, Cradlepoint, Barracuda, FatPipe, and Riverbed ranked among the worst in Gartner’s latest WAN Edge Infrastructure report.

The vendor’s “default” is to look to the open-source community for solutions.

“Much remains to be completed for some of the broader elements that sit at the cross-section of wireless, networking, and cloud industries," VMware's Benoit Pelletier said.

Six vendors — Fortinet, VMware, Versa, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Silver Peak — graced the leadership category in Gartner's latest WAN Edge Infrastructure report.

The update extends Dell Tech's CloudIQ AIOps platform to its full infrastructure portfolio and identifies five degrees of artificial intelligence automation.

If AT&T wants to be known as a software pioneer, it sure has an odd way of showing it.

When it launches next spring, Nokia's FP5-based appliances will be among the first to support 800 Gb/s pluggable optics, the vendor claims.

IDC now forecasts annual recurring revenue generated from foundational cloud services to surpass $300 billion in 2025, up from less than $100 billion in 2020.

Infinera believes XR optics can solve 5G challenges; remote workers' homes are a new security market; and Dish Network plans to run on AWS' cloud.

Automation is the best weapon and SD-WAN’s greatest strength in combatting security breaches, Appledore Research's Grant Lenahan argues.
