The chipmaker's LaunchPad program seeks to make its DGX supercomputing platform available as-a-service through colocation providers like Equinix.

The architecture includes processors, accelerators, Ethernet adaptors, memory, software toolkits and blueprints traversing the core, access, and edge of networks.

“We’re trying to help digital brands get out of the way of good users, while also protecting and supporting whatever flavor of attacker abuse they’re dealing with,” Akamai VP

The routers, which are available starting this month, aim to simplify enterprise requirements for IoT connectivity at the network edge.

“When coupled with an improving global economy with greater demand for everything, there is an overall shortage of semiconductors," Dell Technologies COO Jeff Clarke said.

“The Aruba 630 Series campus access points are the first enterprise-grade WiFi 6E access points to be introduced by any of the main enterprise networking providers,” Aruba's Gayle Levin

One of the more significant moves was the launch of its SUSE Edge platform that targets building and managing cloud-native applications running in edge locations.

The global semiconductor shortage has hobbled the auto industry and threatened Silicon Valley revenues, and relief won't arrive for years, according to analysts.

Semiconductor revenues rebounded from 2019's 12% decline and grew 10% to $464 billion in 2020, according to a recent IDC report.

Chinese foundries “are expected to achieve self-sufficiency in the 28-nanometer process technology this year,” Analysys Mason's Caroline Gabriel writes.

“We've had a history of reinventing business models time and time again ... this is just the latest version of that,” CEO Michael Dell said. “The next step is

“We really believe that the edge is the next frontier for digital transformation for organizations around the world,” Dell Technologies' Varun Chhabra said.

Apple pledged $430 billion for 5G and jobs; plus the latest executive hirings, promotions, and staff changes.

The vendors has a new open source reference architecture that allows operators and their vendor partners to build cloud-native applications and functions on top of the Kubernetes-based OpenShift.

“We have already ordered half of the total network equipment needed from our 5G suppliers to support C-band deployments in 2021,” CEO Hans Vestberg said.

The PowerStore family, which sits between PowerMax for high-end storage and PowerVault for entry-level storage, is the fastest growing new architecture in company history.

This will also enable applications such as visual inspection of products or predicting the wear-and-tear of machines on the assembly line.

Most of AT&T’s private 5G activities are in trials and testing, but the operator suggests fully operational offerings are "coming soon."

“To unleash truly transformative innovations at the edge, what we need is a fungible edge," VMware's Kaniz Mahdi explained.

VMware merges telco, edge, SASE oversight; Cisco nabs NEC to expand its 5G reach; and Fujitsu taps Trend Micro's private 5G network security.

The move signals a growing preference for AWS, but Verizon isn't admitting as much at this juncture.
