The new Data Localization Suite will give Cloudflare customers tools to control where data goes and ensure it stays where it should.

Equinix Fabric is now available in 49 metropolitan areas across five continents, and the company said it will reach 56 markets by the end of 2021.

“It’s still a big question mark that how much of what ETSI has developed will be deployed there," ETSI and Huawei's Sami Kekki said.

DARPA's Pronto project, which supports research for secure 5G network infrastructure, is also funding ONF to deploy and operate an Aether network as a managed service.

HPE will relocate from its storied Silicon Valley roots where founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started the company in a Palo Alto garage in 1939.

Google says Anthos on bare metal gives customers more flexibility to run their workloads wherever they want: in Google Cloud, on-premises, in other clouds, or at the edge.

“I would like the industry to come to some consensus about the terminology,” Microsoft's Cindy Xing said.

"We had to readjust our lives to work from home, learn from home, and all of a sudden we had to adapt very quickly to that,” AT&T's Andre Fuetsch

“Enterprises won’t use 5G functions unless they have confidence that they have enterprise-grade security, visibility, and remediation,” Palo Alto Networks SVP Anand Oswal said.

AT&T said its ability to use the same open hardware for core and edge routing demonstrates the power of open source systems.

Effort builds collab with chipmakers to provide a consistent management platform for distributed compute across accelerators

Verizon’s 5G effort began with a heavy push on mmWave, but the coverage of that network remains narrow and sporadic, sometimes from city block to city block.

The “Cisco Validated” program will test and validate the HCI platform running on third-party and white box servers.

“We provide more geographic coverage right now than AT&T and Verizon combined on 5G. To be more precise, our 5G coverage is double AT&T and 3.5 times Verizon’s," CEO

Aruba Networks swept Cisco from the Pentagon; Palo Alto's Unit 42 found flaws in AWS deployments; and Cisco slashed its workforce by 9%.

Most of the 5G use cases envisioned by the effective proprietors of 5G are still under development and relegated to labs.

Verizon still needs developers, enterprises, and entrepreneurs to help it realize a more broad vision for 5G.

The partnership with VMware follows a run of efforts taken by Samsung of late to join the wave of 5G network virtualization.

When complete, the project will see more than 150,000 wired ports and 3,000 additional access points distributed across the 6.5 million-square-foot facility.

“We’re coming into this humble, we’re coming into this in the listening mode,” Microsoft's Shawn Hakl said.

Cisco baked new chips into Silicon One; AT&T expanded Cisco’s IoT control center; and Verizon VNS vaulted Kubernetes to the edge.

The carrier reported a smaller earnings-per-share hit tied to the ongoing pandemic and turned more positive on its full-year financial performance expectations.

Verizon rides Microsoft to the private edge; Cisco is consolidating its routers; and VMware Carbon Black sounds a cybersecurity warning.

The new routers replace Cisco's integrated service, aggregated service, and cloud service routers while introducing wireless WAN capabilities to its IOS-XE platform.
