Amazon Web Services remained the largest infrastructure-as-a-service provider in 2020, but Microsoft, Alibaba, Google, and Huawei gained traction in the growing IaaS market.

Ericsson, like Nokia, expanded its partnership with Google Cloud after previous activities involving network operators’ migration to cloud-native, container-based services.

Palo Alto Networks believes a combination of 5G network slicing and SASE will drive service provider revenues and address a rapidly changing threat landscape.

Vodafone confirmed 100% renewable energy usage in Europe beginning July 1; Nutanix’s CEO eyes a $61B market opportunity; and Dell’s Omnia automates HPC.

This isn’t a pivot for the SDN pioneer, but rather an “expansion of the field of view,” said CTO and co-founder Brandon Heller.

"We are going to focus on what we refer to as the 5G physical layer, or 5G layer one of the protocol stack,” Qualcomm's Gerardo Giaretta said.

The chipmaker says data processing units have a place everywhere in the network, not just in the data center.

The company also extended support for multi-tenant VMware environments to its HPC on-Demand platform.

During its investor event this week, CEO Rajiv Ramaswami for the first time said Nutanix expects to be cash-flow positive by the second half of calendar 2022.

The program provides users with up to a 33% reward that can be used on Oracle’s support services based on new commitments to buy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

“We can’t just spend all that money on detection and assume we’re gonna catch everything, because the math no longer works,” Illumio CEO Andrew Rubin said.

“This is intended to be an architecture for all markets spanning cloud to mobile and automotive to IoT,” Arm's Mark Knight said.

Cato launches its new managed detection and response platform; Red Hat reveals an open RAN bridge for 5G operators; and T-Mobile expands its 5G coverage to 150 million people.

“I need to connect [the edge] to the rest of my enterprise, and this is where Project Aurora brings it brings it all together,” HPE CEO Antonio Neri said.

Red Hat said it developed a “bridge for customers to embrace the open RAN movement” with an open, horizontal, cloud-native software platform.

The MDR platform ties directly into Cato's SASE offering and threat intelligence database to detect and mitigate threats at the network level.

Red Hat is using two variants of Intel’s Smart Edge in OpenShift; Ericsson teases late 2022 mid-band vRAN support; and Splunk security cloud adds threat intel and automated responses.

HPE will ship GreenLake servers with Intel CPUs that have had their cores and memory disabled. Customers can reenable these resources on-demand for an additional fee.

HPE also introduced Project Aurora, a zero-trust security initiative that builds on its existing silicon root of trust, that will be available as a product later this year.

The vendor also introduced Cloud Link software that allows operators to connect vRAN and traditional RAN frameworks.

"U.S. export control applies to some of our products. It doesn’t apply to a lot of our products, so nothing changes when the deal closes,” Arm CEO Simon Segars

“The significance to me is this at least gives everybody something to look at," Omdia analyst Daryl Schoolar said.

The public cloud provider claims the AMD-powered VMs offer 40% higher price to performance than the competition.

Dell Technologies will provide Dish with an “edge network infrastructure foundation” for devices, software, and services running at the edge.
