The vendor added native Kubernetes support to its Cloud Foundation software stack and products to its Kubernetes-focused Tanzu portfolio.

“Edge compute is like a private data center but worse, like way worse,” NetFoundry CEO Galeal Zino said.

Bharti Airtel is preparing to deploy 5G with an “IP over Ethernet over fiber” network that it describes as the “largest hyper-complex brownfield network transformation of its kind in

“Confidential computing is one of the most important and relevant new paradigms that you folks will hear in the near future,” said Intel’s Anil Rao.

This programmable fabric with embedded security functions will allow network operators to deploy firewalls as software-based platforms rather than hardware appliances, according to AT&T.

SAP revamped org structure, exited 2 board members; Intel slashed jobs despite record quarter; plus the latest headcount hirings, promotions, and staff changes.

Continued job losses at one of the world’s largest network operators underlines the impact software is having on those who earn a paycheck from the industry at large.

While “smart,” the facility initially counts approximately 100 employees. The facility itself is not expected to be fully operational until later this year.

It uses Ansible for automation, and it helps companies deploy networks using infrastructure as code instead of configuring and managing their IT infrastructure manually.

Coronavirus canceled more tech events; Equinix paid $335 million for Packet; and Rakuten Mobile dismissed open RAN skeptics.

Huawei CSO mocked US security policy; Palo Alto Networks added X factor to $560M Demisto buy; and Fortinet CEO shared key components to next-gen security.

Perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient, security surfaces and compute demands are ballooning, and so is network complexity, said Fortinet CEO Ken Xie.

While substantial, the investment pledge is down from the $13 billion Google invested in the space last year.

Informed consent of genetic data is critical, but people aren’t always clear about what they are consenting to and how that data might be used down the line.

One of the near-term goals is to make cryptography more robust and ready for a post-quantum computing landscape, said NTT Research CEO Kazuhiro Gomi.

The U.S. government’s quantum research budget, which addresses a national security issue, is $30 million, or just 0.0006% of the federal budget.

It recruited Kontena's leadership and employees that were behind the Pharos Kubernetes distribution and Lens multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard.
