The IT enterprise juggernaut revealed an infrastructure platform that aims to help operators build and deploy open, cloud-native networks.

Dubbed Forcepoint One, the SSE platform offers customers the full suite of SASE security features minus the networking baggage.

“You have to assume that an advanced persistent threat is going to go inside your network,” CEO Ratan Tipirneni said.

Making networks more sustainable is a universal objective and a joint priority between Ericsson and its customers, Ericsson's Per Navinger said.

KDDI claims to run the first 5G standalone open RAN site; a New Mexico water utility tapped Cisco for security; and Cisco might acquire these companies next.

“You don't want your OT side going out talking to the internet. That's a big no, no. So proper segmentation is huge,” CISO Kristen Sanders said.

The site combines Samsung’s virtualized distributed unit and virtualized central unit with Fujitsu's massive MIMO radios in Kawasaki, Japan.

F5 expanded its application security portfolio; Nokia and Kyndryl expanded their private 5G partnership; and Snyk acquired Fugue.

Citrix has some jewels that could still have great value as a standalone company, Dell’Oro Group's Mauricio Sanchez said.

Users appreciate Constellation's Kubernetes-first approach, but that characteristic makes it just as complex as Kubernetes itself.

The companies intend to improve how companies manufacture and distribute products with the aid of IoT, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.

"WAAP, as a cloud service, is a fast-growing area, led by large cloud providers such as Akamai, Cloudflare, Amazon, and Google," IDC's Chris Rodriguez said.

The CEOs at Vodafone, Telefónica, Deutsche Telekom, and Orange claim "the current situation is simply not sustainable."

Juniper Networks acquired WiteSand; CrowdStrike reported an 82% jump in ransomware-related data leaks in 2021; and Rakuten Mobile lost $1 billion in Q4.

“AT&T is investing in renewable energy because it is good for the planet and good for our business,” Global Infrastructure VP Joe Taylor said.

The company also announced Symworld, which represents a rebranding effort and a repacking of the Rakuten Communications Platform.

Network access control has been a constant thorn in Juniper's side. The WiteSand acquisition remedies that, Juniper's Jeff Aaron says.

Google Cloud landed a contract with the U.S. DoD; Intel is betting big on RISC-V; and HPE Aruba touts its earlier start on NaaS than rival Cisco.

“Customers understand the world moved to software and they see what happened with the cloud. They don’t want to be left behind,” CEO Ido Susan said.

Aruba’s NaaS portfolio “encompasses everything that we're doing,” CTO David Hughes said.

Microsoft joined the Carbon Call; AMD plans to close its Xilinx acquisition next week; and the O-RAN Alliance’s power structure is misaligned with its goals.

The skyrocketing cost of the rip-and-replace program illustrates how extensive Chinese vendors’ equipment reaches into the nation’s networks.

IBM announced a cyber vault service for its flash storage array systems; campus switch spending is expected to hit $100B over the next five years.

Campus switch vendors see artificial intelligence as an opportunity to differentiate themselves, Dell’Oro Group's Sameh Boujelbene said.
