Aether, pronounced “ether,” is the first open source edge cloud platform and the first open platform supporting connectivity as a service, according to ONF.

Customers can manage hundreds of ROBO locations through Cohesity Helios similar to how they manage their data in the core and public cloud.

Dell bagged $2B with the sale of RSA; AT&T shared threat intelligence; and Orange teamed up with Dell on uCPE and VNFs.

The appliances will come in a variety of form factors and run multiple virtualized services, like SD-WAN and security, on a single device.

Automotive and smart city services will account for 70% of all 5G IoT connections by 2025, according to Juniper Research.

The edge is “a complication to the existing deployment of IT,” said Dell Technologies' Matt Baker.

Coronavirus killed MWC Barcelona; Cisco CEO weighed in on government 5G investments; and Ericsson tapped bare metal for 5G.

The United Kingdom-based operator plans to leverage the Dell EMC's Virtual Edge Platform series of appliances for a new managed service offering.

The interconnection giant this week reported its 68th consecutive quarter of growth and said it ended fiscal year 2019 with $5.56 billion in revenue.

The accentuates the stock that operators are putting in new use cases and applications that can theoretically only be delivered by 5G.

The carrier worked with Vodafone, Verizon, and Orange on making the CNTT process work across each operator’s vendor ecosystem.

Cisco patched zero-day vulnerabilities in millions of devices; the White House backed US 5G plan; and IBM CTO called open source vital to edge success.

The Trump administration has been talking about empowering U.S.-based companies to take the lead on 5G for about 18 months, but the market realities are unchanged.

Telia Carrier taps a Cisco network first; Intel ditches Nervana for Habana; and IBM CTO predicts edge will implode without open source.

“The edge is accelerated by 5G and 5G brings advantages to the edge computing scenarios,” IBM's Rob High said.

“The network has expanded to the operational side of the business because of digitization,” said IoT Director Joe Malenfant.

“We build this distributed software that runs in the switches themselves, and so we leverage the switch sort of as if it’s a server effectively,” Pluribus Networks CMO Mike

VMware bought AIOps vendor Nyansa; Red Hat was integral to IBM's Q4 success; and Vapor IO scored $90M investment.

It also reached an agreement for Cloudflare to deploy its cloud services on Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge platform.

The project was born from seed code donated by AT&T in 2018, and is targeted at developing carrier-grade computing applications running in VMs and containers.

CenturyLink nabbed $1.6B Interior Department win; Rogers rolled out a 5G first; and Telstra, Equinix deepened partnership integrations.

Rogers is working with Ericsson on the 5G network deployment pivoting off of an agreement signed in mid-2018.

The reports cover the impact of “alternative virtualization technologies” and provide a deeper look into network slicing and edge computing systems.

These groups can also muddy the waters by creating competing approaches that reflexively insulate empowered interests over broader goals that drive genuine interoperability.
