“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

When it launches next spring, Nokia's FP5-based appliances will be among the first to support 800 Gb/s pluggable optics, the vendor claims.

IDC now forecasts annual recurring revenue generated from foundational cloud services to surpass $300 billion in 2025, up from less than $100 billion in 2020.

Cisco’s security business only grew 1% compared to a year ago, and that represents much slower growth compared to its competitors like Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet.

Infinera believes XR optics can solve 5G challenges; remote workers' homes are a new security market; and Dish Network plans to run on AWS' cloud.

Automation is the best weapon and SD-WAN’s greatest strength in combatting security breaches, Appledore Research's Grant Lenahan argues.

Mavenir CTO Bejoy Pankajakshan described Dish’s strategy as a “hybrid deployment on Amazon Web Services where the central unit goes on AWS and the distributed unit part stays with

“We believe that it makes business and operational sense to deploy XR optics for today's point-to-point connections,” Infinera's Fady Masoud said.

Versa Networks offers 5G-connected appliances; ForgeRock debuted on the New York Stock Exchange; and Rakuten searches for a head of global operations.

"Finding the right, highly technical, hands-on leader that can build a scalable organization whose foundation is built on software skills has been one of my biggest personal challenges in

The SD-WAN vendor claims the latest appliances can achieve throughputs up to 5 Gb/s over a sub-6 GHz 5G connection.

Secureworks focuses on XDR; Google Cloud introduced Google Kubernetes Engine; and Barracuda Networks launched a SASE platform.

Rather than offering its SASE platform as a cloud-delivered service, Barracuda Network's platform relies on customers to deploy their own points of presence in Microsoft Azure.

Ayyar’s first move is bundling Arrcus’ ArcOS, ArcIQ, and ArcOrchestrator products into a single platform dubbed the Arrcus Connected Edge platform.

Juniper updated its AI portfolio; Palo Alto Networks launched Prisma SASE; and Nokia restarted its technical contribution to the O-RAN Alliance.

Prisma SASE combines the vendor's Prisma Access remote access platform with CloudGenix's SD-WAN capabilities in a single unified offering.

The updates promise to make the deployment of complex network fabrics, like EVPN-VXLAN, faster and simpler for campus switching customers.

SASE is a point of confusion for some IT decision-makers; adopting zero trust is a major way to avoid paying ransoms; and Comcast Business acquired Masergy.

Ericsson beat Nokia to earn the No. 2 spot with a 15% market share followed by Nokia’s 14.9% take during the first six months of the year, according to

The Linksys HomeWRK is a two-node, mesh-enabled WiFi 6 router designed to secure remote workers' homes from an ever expanding threat landscape.

Comcast Business acquired Masergy; Cribl raised $200M during its Series C funding round; and Databricks raised $1.6B in funding.

Ransomware requires a layered security approach; Nokia will supply U.S. Cellular with 5G; and Palo Alto Networks rolled out Okyo Garde.

“It’s really about the marriage of the enterprise-grade security with consumer product thinking,” Palo Alto Networks EVP Mario Queiroz said.

Nokia said its 5G standalone core is currently deployed in more than 70 networks globally, but very few of those are commercially available.
