On this episode of The Six Five Webcast, hosts Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman discuss the tech new stories that made headlines this week including, announcements from Intel and Oracle, and updates from Lattice, AWS and AMD.
In this new episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Interview Series, we took to LinkedIn Live and featured a roundtable discussion with Futurum analysts Shelly Kramer and Ron Westfall, accompanied by Miriam Deasy and Rick Mallon from Ericsson. The topic of conversation revolved around insights from the findings of a research report that our team at Futurum partnered with Ericsson to develop: BSS-to-Cloud Journey: Powering Innovation Across the Digital Value Chain. We wrapped up our discussion with a look at what the Ericsson team feels is working well for their customers, as well as a conversation around how CSPs can increase the likelihood of successful outcomes, and we closed our show with thoughts on what CSPs can do and/or focus on as they progress on their BSS cloud journeys.
Overall Marvell and Samsung are leading the way in assisting mobile operators deploy 5G with greater efficiency and speed. Their most recent collaboration powers SoC design advancement, enabling operators and enterprises to attain distinct 5G benefits through optimized performance and power savings in network deployments. Through the co-development SoC collaboration with Marvell, Futurum’s Ron Westfall sees Samsung defending its global mobile networking leadership by delivering the Massive MIMO and advanced radio improvements needed to sustain its market gains in the RAN market segment. With the latest innovations, Samsung also strengthens its position to drive operator stepwise journeys to broader Open RAN assimilation.
At Cisco Live 2021, Duo, a recent acquisition of Cisco, announced its new passwordless capabilities to meet increasing security demands.
Arm has announced Armv9, which represents its newest updates to its IP portfolio used for developers and chip makers building on Arm Tech.
Siemens has tapped IBM and Red Hat to provide advanced Hybrid Cloud solutions to deliver manufacturing better outcomes from untapped data.
The ServiceNow Intellibot acquisition is another step forward in the RPA arena. Futurum’s Shelly Kramer takes a look at an acquisition that makes the already impressive digital workflow platform even more well-positioned for success — for customers all over the world, including the fast-growing Indian market, which is a strategic move for ServiceNow.
Futurum’s Ron Westfall discusses the launch of Ericsson’s 5G Core Policy Studio, designed to deliver the unified single point of access for all network policies with pre-defined templates for service design meeting the burgeoning CSP demand for comprehensive policy visibility, centralized control and automation for efficient operations, and GUI-driven ease of use needed to accelerate time to revenue. It appears as though Ericsson 5G Core Policy is ready to move the needle in the policy management market realm and that the pressure is on for key policy management rivals.
In this new episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Futurum’s Shelly Kramer and Daniel Newman go further into their multi-part series on Confidential Computing, and how vendors are looking to deploy trust-based computing models — and why that makes perfect sense. This conversation series is a precursor to our soon-to-be-published research brief on the topic of Confidential Computing, and if enterprise security is your thing, probably a don’t-miss conversation.
Benu Networks BNG upgrade reveals a BNF solution with clearly differentiated SASE and WWC capabilities that fulfill new carrier cloud-native edge demands. Futurum’s Ron Westfall explains how carrier demand for secure networks and solutions that deploy across converged networks is burgeoning as work-from-home (WFH), remote learning, and the rapid growth of 5G are escalating network bandwidth demands and introducing new security challenges. Westfall is also bullish on the resultant portfolio differentiation and capabilities for Benu as a result of this upgrade.
Sevis Systems’ Trusted Caller ID solution aims to restore enterprise control over broken mobile caller ID experiences. Futurum’s Olivier Blanchard walks through Sevis’ Systems new offering and its value proposition of helping enterprises not only achieve significant operating cost savings within their contact centers, but also potentially deliver better customer experiences. “90% of unrecognized calls go unanswered, which is a serious operational problem for businesses (and especially enterprise-sized businesses) that need to get in touch with their customers. At best, the public’s reluctance to answer unidentified calls causes the number of call attempts made by enterprises to increase considerably, along with customer service costs. At worst, enterprises end up failing to contact their customers in a timely manner, resulting in poor brand experiences and lower customer satisfaction.”
Qualcomm, AMD, and Gigabyte break the PetaOperations per second barrier for AI inference — which is a lot of AI muscle. With AI increasingly becoming the driving force behind the next generation of consumer experiences, this is exciting news.
