Cornerstone’s platform uses automation to convert any programming language or database into any other language or database and prepare legacy workloads for cloud-native environments.

Mavenir’s fully virtualized 4G and 5G open RAN offering became commercially available to operators in October 2019.

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

The network uses Cisco’s NCS5500 series routers that were updated last year to support 400GbE capabilities.

“We are the first telecommunications vendor who is bringing programmability into the operations center,” said Nokia's Miikka Karhuluoma.

Arista Networks buys Big Switch; VMware loses $237M patent infringement lawsuit; and Nokia cuts 180 jobs with more to come.

SDN killed AT&T jobs; VMware lost $237M in a patent infringement lawsuit; and Windstream SD-WAN gained data analytics services.

“By going SDN these very big network operations are becoming extremely efficient to run, and that means unfortunately jobs," analyst Roger Entner said.

Cisco joined the on-premises Kubernetes party; the U.K. banned Huawei from 5G core networks; and Apstra added time travel to IBN.

The software release also includes extended enterprise-class support for the SONiC open source network operating system.

If the merger is blocked and the operators remain separate companies, their respective 5G plans are going to evolve considerably and quickly.

The software giant says Nyansa will enable improved network visibility, monitoring, and remediation features for its VeloCloud SD-WAN platform.

Cisco advanced intent-based networking; SK boasted standalone 5G first; and Citrix swatted ADC, Gateway bugs.

This move Cisco another step closer to fully automated, self-correcting networks, or what the vendor and others call intent-based networking.

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

Telstra’s new API integration with Equinix means its enterprise customers can directly connect to more than 170 service providers.

AT&T’s ongoing network virtualization effort, specifically the amount of core network functions it has moved to SDN, has been tangled in ambiguity.

Anana wanted to automated infrastructure to unify its two data centers and provide more agile service delivery for its customers.

The Open Mobile Evolved Core (OMEC) platform supports connections into the carrier’s existing base stations, mobility management services, and lawful intercept platforms.

“We aim to control 75% of our core network functions with software by the end of 2020 and, by reaching 65% at the end of 2019, we’re nearly there,”

The virtual tour will, however, require users to sign up for a 30-day trial of Juniper's Contrail SD-WAN platform.

Aviatrix's CEO claimed SD-WAN is dead and that AWS killed it; VMware's CEO taunted IBM for paying too much for Red Hat; and AT&T, Sprint, and Cisco execs threw

Billions of dollars changed hands this year as industry giants attempted to bolster their positions in some of the world's most competitive markets.

While 5G and industrial IoT are still years from maturity, that's not stopping companies from investing big in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
