Ericsson unveils its entitlement server solution for on-device eSIM subscription activation for smartphone – beginning with Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip, following the launch this past January of its eSIM solution.

Failing IoT security measures have led to a resurgence of the Cornflicker worm, impacting IoT connected healthcare devices and others — and that’s not going to cut it in today’s internet-driven, everything-connected world. IoT devices, in the healthcare world and elsewhere, must treated just as carefully as employee computers, servers, and other devices. They must be connected to network security, continuously monitored and scanned, maintained by way of security patches, and updated on a regular basis. There should be no halfway measures here, in the healthcare industry or otherwise — security of IoT connected devices is too important to business operations and business continuity.

The company’s acquisition of SwiftStack provides NVIDIA with a software-driven data storage and management platform for acceleration of deep learning, analytics, and high-performance computing applications across multiclouds.
Google Cloud partnering with AT&T to build 5G edge computing solutions is a move toward helping telcos optimize for 5G wireless applications. It’s also a move that’s central to Google’s strategy of moving the company beyond its core ad business and working to claim a larger share of the enterprise cloud business. What’s most noteworthy about this announcement from Google Cloud is the breadth of its strategy for partnering with 5G carriers, including, but not limited to, AT&T. Here’s a look at that in greater depth.
This past week, Cisco technology chief David Goeckeler departed to become CEO at Western Digital. A look at what this means for Cisco going forward.
Nokia expands the range of ReefShark chipsets with Marvell, improving performance and decreasing the energy footprint of 5G networks.
BMC’s Compuware acquisition is a clear sign that the mainframe era is winding down. Recognizing that their enterprise customers are distributing IT assets across clouds and need tooling to automate management of it all, they have wisely hitched wagons and beefed up their focusing on self-managing closed-loop IT operations management.
