Politicians and regulators have clamped on to open RAN as an alternative to Chinese-made equipment.

Usually, developers and security teams need to use two sets of policies — and two different languages — to secure both infrastructure as code and cloud runtime environments.

“Data storage and management ultimately should be just services, delivered as code, self-managed, using AI,” Pure Storage CPO Ajay Singh said.

“Well, I think the big winner is Michael [Dell],” analyst Zeus Kerravala said. “It’s not like he needs more money, but he stands to make a boatload of money.”

Alkira expanded its security portfolio; Cisco is unphased by O-RAN Alliance drama; and Akamai acquired Guardicore for $600 million.

“We’re going to keep doing what we've been doing and all the rest of this stuff will sort itself out as more and more customers deploy open RAN technologies,”

Today’s announcement marks Alkira’s latest security partnership in an approach that Alkira CTO Atif Khan calls “SASE plus plus.”

Multiple factors have precluded an abundance of 5G cores, including technical, financial, and readiness, Cisco's Jonathan Davidson said.

HPE claims to provide the industry’s first cloud-native unified analytics and data lakehouse cloud services for hybrid environments.

F5 acquired Threat Stack and other recent SDxCentral news stories.

“We always imagined that the Red Hats of this space would appear,” but it hasn't happened, ONF's Timon Sloane said.

What does it take to win in the hyper-competitive SD-WAN market? According to Gartner, a robust SASE strategy isn't a bad place to start.

Peplink, Nuage, Cradlepoint, Barracuda, FatPipe, and Riverbed ranked among the worst in Gartner’s latest WAN Edge Infrastructure report.

The vendor’s “default” is to look to the open-source community for solutions.

Gartner released its latest WAN edge infrastructure report.

Six vendors — Fortinet, VMware, Versa, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Silver Peak — graced the leadership category in Gartner's latest WAN Edge Infrastructure report.

"If in its current form it actually does make its way into law, that’s going to change the landscape of the broadband business in this country,” AT&T CEO John

“I'm not going to be satisfied until we are second to none globally when it comes to cybersecurity and we knew we needed help," T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert said.

AT&T pushes software development; Dell Technologies is looking to bring AIOps to its portfolio; and Nutanix announced new security capabilities.

“All in all, we are creating a market where nobody else is right now. I mean we have created this market," Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg said.

The update extends Dell Tech's CloudIQ AIOps platform to its full infrastructure portfolio and identifies five degrees of artificial intelligence automation.

If AT&T wants to be known as a software pioneer, it sure has an odd way of showing it.

Cisco's security business grew 1% since last year; IDC expects annual cloud revenue will reach $300B in 2025; and Nokia announced FP5-based appliances.

“We are thrilled that Shaila will be the first woman to run Cisco’s security business in an industry that needs far more talent like her,” EVP Jeetu Patel wrote
