Take a Network Break! VMware announces its Virtual Cloud Network vision and outlines the product portfolio to bring that vision to life. Dell Technology World showcases new servers and storage and cements Dell’s one-stop-shop strategy. Cisco spends $270 million to buy relationship intelligence purveyor Accompany.
Cisco also shed its service provider video business, Anuta Networks makes its orchestration platform available as SaaS, and the Lojack laptop recovery software suffers a serious vulnerability.
Meanwhile, a Webex vulnerability enables remote code execution, Arista shares dip despite a strong quarter, and Juniper shares rise slightly despite a poor one.
