Lambasting SAP is quickly becoming a favorite pastime for Oracle founder Larry Ellison, who once again went on the attack during this week's Q4 earnings call.

The announcement marks Versa Networks' latest service provider win on the back of its secure access service edge offering.

AT&T adds Palo Alto Networks to SASE arsenal; Trend Micro touts zero-trust risk insights; Red Hat readies for mass VM migrations.

Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Access and Prisma SD-WAN form the basis of AT&T's second managed SASE offering.

“These are some of the requirements we're getting from enterprises as far as what would make this more useful: mass migration and more migration,” Red Hat's James Labocki said.

A handful of technologies support zero trust, and Trend Micro’s builds on its XDR platform, which collects telemetry across email, clouds, networks, and SaaS applications.

Intel's first data processing unit is based on an FPGA and promises to alleviate communications overheads, while freeing up CPU resources for data center workloads.

“Once we get the compute and the speed and the latency in, the natural evolution becomes ‘well, how do I serve enterprises?’” Intel VP Caroline Chan said.

It’s a fully managed cloud service, and customers can deploy applications and databases on demand in a pay-per-use model.

While competing vendors focus on secure access, VMware is focusing on a building out a robust service edge.

The FBI and ransomware gangs agree on this one point: If you don’t want to be the next Colonial Pipeline or JBS, use strong passwords.

Dell pushes open telecom; what the heck is open XDR; and Verizon taps Versa, Zscaler for managed SASE.

Fortinet today added four more managed service providers to its SD-WAN collection.

Verizon is the latest U.S. carrier to roll out a managed SASE offering. The service is built on Versa Networks' SD-WAN and Zscaler's cloud-based security functionality.

VMware and Vapor IO said the Multi-Cloud Services Grid will be available in Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Dallas later this year.

NetFoundry's latest Oracle Cloud integration makes it easier for developers to build zero-trust security into their apps.

“Where we really excel is highlighting what threats are actively being exploited, and what is going wrong, right this second,” Palo Alto Networks’ Varun Badhwar said.

Cloudera is being taken private by affiliates of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and KKR in an all-cash deal valued at around $5.3 billion.

SAP claims cloud neutrality; Ericsson has RAN disaggregation limits; and SDxCentral's 2-Minute Weekly Wrap podcast.

Ericsson doesn’t expect the industry to abandon or abruptly shift away from the proprietary RAN hardware it’s relied on since its inception.

“There's people looking for drama right now, but there is none. ... We're working with all of the providers and have good relationships with all the providers,” noted SAP's

VMware SVP calls XDR the "next frontier;" Cisco adds more oomph to its hybrid cloud; and Samsung says vRAN equals double-digit cost savings.

XDR is “something that we can do really, really uniquely to stop these very sophisticated attacks,” said VMware SVP Tom Gillis ahead of the company’s Security Connect event.

The vendor's Intersight and ThousandEyes platforms added more capabilities, and Cisco rolled out its new X-Series UCS to run hybrid-cloud environments.
