NVIDIA capped off a strong fiscal 2021 with record revenue and earnings despite global chip shortages and economic headwinds.
Futurum’s Olivier Blanchard on Apple’s search for automotive LiDAR supplier fueling new rumors about Project Titan. While it may make more sense for Apple to stay in its consumer electronics lane, where it could focus on building a first rate Smart Home ecosystem to displace Alphabet and Amazon, and make XR cool enough to displace Microsoft, Oculus (Facebook), and potentially other consumer electronic giants like Samsung, Sony, HTC, and more, the real flex play for Apple this decade, its boldest hard swing for the fences, lies in entering the automotive market to take on Tesla.
Alphabet released cloud results for the first time. What's clear is that it isn't a shoo-in for No. 3 in the cloud business.
Apple M1 vulnerability "Silver Sparrow" has opened discussions as to the M1 and Apple's security risks as it moves to homegrown chips.
Companies around the world are dealing with not just digital transformation and growing customer expectations, but the continued pandemic, decreased budgets, and changing customer priorities.
Juniper’s debut of Paragon Automation demonstrates the ability to execute on its Experience-First Networking strategy. The formation of Paragon Automation indicates Juniper has the blueprint to bolster its portfolio through a well-executed acquisition strategy that most recently includes 128T and Apstra.
Futurum’s Ron Westfall views the formation of Juniper Paragon Automation as boding well for Juniper’s prospects in further assimilating its 128T assets to make deeper inroads into the AI-driven enterprise realm as well as successfully integrating its Apstra assets to alter the competitive dynamics within the automated cloud DC realm. Through Paragon Automation, Juniper is ready to win new mind share and move the needle across the automated WAN, AI-driven enterprise, and automated cloud DC market realms.
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 updates from NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Amazon, a comparison of M1 Macbooks and Intel Evo notebooks, the news payment standoff in Australia, and the impact of the Texas weather on tech companies.
Microsoft finally optimizing its unified Office mobile app for Apple’s iPad devices isn’t just great news for iPad users – it’s also a clear signal from Microsoft that it intends to be more proactive about servicing segments of its ecosystem that may have, until now, been under-prioritized. Microsoft has also designed for specific segments of the Office User ecosystem, which is impressive. This ability to understand the user preferences and nuances involved in these unique segments of its ecosystem makes it clear that Microsoft has spent time and resources learning what these users’ needs are and that it has developed solutions so as to best to meet them.
In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, host Shelly Kramer is joined by fellow analyst Fred McClimans for a conversation about some important cybersecurity news of the week that might’ve gotten lost as a result of horrible storms, power grid troubles, and lots of cold friends and colleagues. Their conversation focused on Clubhouse, the current darling of social apps Clubhouse and that fact that it’s powered by Agora, a Chinese-based company. Are their cybersecurity concerns there? Perhaps. We also explored the latest news from the US government on the SolarWinds hack, including startling information about its point of origin, and wrapped up with good news from Microsoft’s team around its investigation post SolarWinds hack. All in all, some great cybersecurity information and discussion that we think you’ll want to be a part of.
Futurum’s Olivier Blanchard takes a dive into Qualcomm’s new Fixed Wireless Access platform, which is expected to bring mmWave 5G performance to the network edge in 2022. Until now, the prevailing expectation surrounding mmWave cell deployments was that network operators would focus mostly on high density markets like urban centers, stadiums, airports, highly industrialized areas, and so on, and that therefore, suburban and rural areas would mostly miss out on ultra-fast mmWave 5G performance. Qualcomm’s introduction of its new mmWave 5G FWA CPE platform changes things. By extending mmWave 5G performance to the network edge, many suburban and rural markets that until now fell just out of reach of the best that 5G has to offer will soon have access to mmWave 5G performance just like densely populated markets.
Verizon Business and Cisco are meeting the growing enterprise demand for SD-WAN services and easing their adoption path or improving the overall agility of their existing SD-WAN implementation, particularly across multi-cloud environments. I anticipate both Verizon and Cisco are now better positioned to meet growing enterprise SD-WAN demand and drive SD-WAN adoption on a more secure and agile path, also providing the foundation for SASE assimilation as workforces become ever more distributed and virtual.
The Delta IBM cloud partnership takes flight, with an announcement on Thursday of the acceleration of the airline’s digital transformation strategy and expansion of the partnership between the companies. IBM will transform Delta’s computing environment to run on a hybrid cloud architecture built on Red Hat OpenShift, provide services and training, and make further inroads in its big bet on cloud.
