How China's Huawei Killed $117 Billion Broadcom Deal

#CFIUS is concerned that @Broadcom would cut back on R&D funding at @Qualcomm, strengthening Huawei at a time when rivals from @Ericsson to @Nokia are grappling with weak telecoms spending. That theoretically gives Chinese companies such as @Huawei and closest rival @ZTE Corp. the upper hand in steering the direction of wireless communications development, thereby -- so the argument goes -- jeopardizing U.S. national security. CFIUS’s concerns over the deal are said also to stem from Broadcom’s ties to Huawei, which was blacklisted in 2012 along with ZTE when the U.S. House Intelligence Committee cited security risks posed by the companies.

Cisco, HPE, Nokia Lead SDN Orchestration in New Study

A new study by MarketsandMarkets values the SDN orchestration market at close to $215 million, but predicts that it will increase to $4.6 billion by 2022. That’s annual growth of 83 percent. The study says businesses are more and more interested in automating and simplifying their network infrastructures, leading to the rise of SDN orchestration. “Moreover, the rising demand for simplified SDN architecture, which is easy to manage with a reduced number of managed devices and an abstract complexity of the network topology, is also contributing to the growth of the SDN orchestration market across the globe,” the report says. MarketsandMarkets taps small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) as the fastest growing segment of adopters. The market research firm labels Asia as the fastest growing region, due to an increasing amount of data centers in the same area. The 83 percent global growth rate, however, does not come without growing pains. SDN orchestration is still a “nascent” technology in its early stages, and therefore its security apparatus is also a work in progress. “… Use of this technology can often lead to hacking of data and networks; thus, the security of the vulnerable data is a major concern with the use of SDN orchestration technology,” MarketsandMarkets writes. “SDN orchestration is used for network virtualization, thus creating hundreds or thousands of networks together. Several vendors and service providers have included security platforms and services, along with their solution suites and service offerings to enhance their SDN orchestration offerings in the market.” The study lists 12 vendors as major players in SDN orchestration: @Cisco, @Nokia, @Ciena, @Juniper Networks, @Huawei, @Netcracker, @Hewlett Packard Enterprise, @CENX, @Virtela, @QualiSystems, @Anuta Networks and @Zymr. That’s a similar company list to one of the more recent studies on record. IHS Markit asked global service providers which orchestration vendors they preferred, and the survey found that Cisco, Nokia, Ciena, Juniper and Huawei were the most popular (see the graphic below). Cisco took the top spot, with more than 60 percent of the respondents naming it in their top three choices.

Microsoft is laying off ‘thousands’ of staff in a major global sales reorganization

#Microsoft is poised to layoff thousands of employees worldwide in a move to reorganize its salesforce. A source with knowledge of the planned downsizing told TechCrunch that the U.S. firm would lay off “thousands” of staff across the world. The restructuring is set to include an organizational merger that involves its enterprise customer unit and one or more of its SME-focused divisions. The changes are set to be announced this coming week, we understand. Microsoft declined to comment. Earlier this weekend, the Puget Sound Business Journal, Bloomberg and The Seattle Times all reported ‘major’ layoffs related to a move to increase the emphasis on cloud services within Microsoft’s sales teams worldwide. Bloomberg said the redundancies would be “some of the most significant in the sales force in years.” The reorganization looks to be a result of a change of leadership this past year. Executives Judson Althoff and Jean-Philippe Courtois took charge of Microsoft’s sales and marketing divisions following the exit of long-serving COO Kevin Turner last summer. Althoff, for one, has been public in his criticism of previous sales approaches, and he is keen to make Azure a central part of the focus. At any rate, the time is right for change, historically. The end of Microsoft’s fiscal year typically falls in July, and it recent years it has been a time when the firm has announced headcount reductions. Last year, #Microsoft announced that it would cut 2,850 jobs — including at least 900 from its sales group, according to The Seattle Times — having two months earlier said it would let go of 1,850 staff related to its smartphone business. In July 2015, it made 7,800 job cuts and wrote down $7.6 billion of its #Nokia acquisition.

Microsoft to cut 700 jobs as part of previously announced layoffs

#Microsoft will announce about 700 job cuts around its earnings call next week, as part of its previously announced plan to cut 2,850 jobs by June 2017. The cuts, first reported by Business Insider, will not be concentrated in any particular area, but are part of an effort to update skills across the company. Microsoft had more than 114,000 employees as of June 30, 2016, the end of its last fiscal year, and has more than 1,000 open positions that it's seeking to fill. The company is in the midst of a years-long transition to a cloud model, where it sells software as subscription services, rather than licensing it for installation on computers owned by its customers. During this transition, which accelerated when Satya Nadella took over as CEO in early 2014, Microsoft has laid off more than 25,000 workers, mostly from the smartphone business it gained in its 2013 acquisition of Nokia.

Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, and Nokia secure lion’s share of router and switch market

#Cisco is the most familiar company in the router and switch market with #Juniper and #Nokia trailing behind, according to a new piece of research from IHS Markit. IHS Markit conducted a switch and router vendor leadership survey in 2016 that shows how service providers select router and CES manufacturers, whose equipment they have installed, help them evaluate future purchases. The 15-page study features operator ratings of 11 vendors including, #Brocade, #Cisco, #Coriant, #ECI, #Ericsson, #Fujitsu, #Huawei, #Juniper, #NEC, #Nokia [including #AlcatelLucent ] and #ZTE on 9 criteria. The survey assesses service provider attitudes toward and perceptions of edge router, core router and CES manufacturers. In the study, Cisco was at the top of respondent edge/core router and CES manufacturer leadership scores. Along with Juniper, Huawei and Nokia (including Alcatel-Lucent), Cisco forms a top tier clearly separated by a wide margin from the other manufacturers. All these four manufacturers account for about 86% of worldwide revenue market share for routers and CES. Nokia topped among others, followed by Cisco and Juniper, when it came to product reliability and service and support. This was considered on an individual manufacturer selection criteria. For technology innovation and product roadmap, Cisco and Nokia ranked first and second, respectively. While for price-to-performance ratio, the Chinese vendors led with Huawei at number one position and ZTE at number two. Cisco, Juniper, Huawei and Nokia also led in other measures including unaided awareness, familiarity (or aided awareness), and equipment installed and under evaluation. Similarly, the vendors ranked at the top when survey respondents named leaders in next-gen routing technologies including 100GE, vRouter and IP DCI.

Intel is buying into maps because it can’t afford to miss out on self-driving cars

#Intel wants to be a part of the car of the future and it isn’t afraid to drop a big chunk of change to do so. The company said Tuesday it is buying 15 percent of #HereMaps, the former #Nokia mapping unit owned by a consortium of German carmakers. No one is talking price, but the carmakers bought the unit from Nokia last year for $2.8 billion, so it’s reasonable to think Intel paid several hundred million dollars. The carmakers had said last year they were looking to bring in additional investors, including US tech companies. High-definition maps are a key component to self-driving cars, providing the in-car computers with not just addresses and places, but information on lane markers, intersections and a blueprint for exactly where the car is on the road at any given time.

Huawei keeps rolling with 32% year-over-year revenue growth in 2016

#Huawei CEO says company aims to improve operating efficiency and cash flow generation across business units. Huawei expects 2016 revenues to reach 520 billion yuan ($74.8 billion), which would represent a 32% increase compared to the previous year, the company’s rotating CEO Eric Xu said in a message to the firm’s employees. In 2015, the vendor reported revenue of 395 billion yuan, which pushed the Chinese giant passed other key global competitors such as #Ericsson, #Nokia and #Cisco Systems in terms of global sales. “The year 2016 has seen a flock of black swans – both political and economic – sweep across the globe. Nevertheless, we have remained focused on our strategy and have patiently applied ourselves to making breakthroughs and creating real value for our customers,” the executive said. “In 2017, we will face even greater global political and economic uncertainties and the ICT industry will continue to transform. We must identify the challenges before us.” The executive said Huawei must sustain profitable growth and maintain healthy cash flow. “Huawei has realized double-digit revenue growth over the past few years. That said, there has not been much improvement in our operating efficiency and cash flow. Our general and administrative expenses have grown faster than our revenue and sales gross margin and our cash to revenue ratio is on the decline,” Xu said. Xu added that Huawei’s business units should make effort to increase operating efficiency and reduce general and administrative expenses. The executive also said the consumer business must stay focused on profit and must remain committed to building a high-end brand and establishing a well-functioning retail channel system. Huawei expects its consumer business to record 178 billion yuan in revenues in 2016, and expects smartphone shipments to have grown by approximately 29% to 139 million units.

Huawei, Cisco, Nokia & Ericsson Join for NFV Testing

#Nokia, #Ericsson, #Cisco, and #Huawei today announced they have signed an #MoU to create the #NFV Interoperability Testing Initiative ( #NFVITI ). Ericsson and Cisco already have a broad-reaching partnership. But Nokia and Huawei are fierce competitors with each other as well as with Cisco and Ericsson. But apparently, service providers need these top telecom vendors to work together to test the interoperability of virtual network functions ( #VNF s) in multi-vendor environments.

Folks, Let’s Not Forget About the Original Use of SDN, Says Nokia

Software-defined wide area networking ( #SDWAN) has been the darling of 2016. (Sure, Adele may be the rest of the world’s darling of 2016, but we’re talking about #SDN here.) #Nokia is all over SD-WAN via its #Nuage business unit. For instance, in November Nuage announced an SD-WAN win with BT. But Nokia says service providers also need good ol’ basic software-defined networking (SDN) in their massive existing networks. Tony Kourlas, director of product marketing for carrier SDN with Nokia, says service providers still need path optimization and assurance, or carrier SDN. “Rather than letting routers decide the path that traffic will take, SDN throws in more information to find the best hop-path via path computation,” says Kourlas. “I can drive 25 percent more revenue generating services in my network by setting up better paths.” Nokia’s Network Services Platform (NSP) adapts and optimizes networks in real-time, using flow redirection and self-tuned adaptive routing. NSP can also tap into unused capacity to provision on-demand IP/optical network services. In addition to path computation, Nokia’s carrier SDN includes assurance. “It visualizes performance and uses data to trigger things,” says Kourlas. “This is something we’re doing that we don’t see a lot of other vendors talking about.” “SD-WAN is fantastic,” he adds, but service providers also want to get the most out of their existing networks. “Network management is necessary. And you can’t commercialize services without assurance.”

Cisco's Guidance Puts Its Telecom and Switching Woes in the Spotlight

#Cisco Systems' (CSCO) July quarter earnings report and order data already provided evidence that weak telecom capital spending was becoming a real problem for the company. The networking giant's latest numbers show that the problem has intensified, just as it has for many peers. Together with a slowdown in Cisco's very profitable enterprise switching business and pockets of weakness elsewhere, that's going to make for a bumpy ride in the near-term. Even if there's some encouraging progress with growth initiatives and a chance for major offshore cash tax relief. Cisco reported fiscal first quarter revenue of $12.35 billion (up 1% annually) and adjusted EPS of $0.61 (up 3%), topping consensus analyst estimates of $12.33 billion and $0.59. But it also guided for fiscal Q2 revenue growth (excluding year-ago sales for Cisco's divested set-top unit) of -2% to -4% and adjusted EPS of $0.55 to $0.57, below consensus estimates for 1.9% total revenue growth and EPS of $0.59. Shares fell 4.3% in after-hours trading. They went into earnings just $0.38 below a 52-week high of $32.95, and up 16% on the year. Weak demand from carriers was the main culprit for the guidance: Cisco's service provider product orders fell 12% annually in fiscal Q1, a notably steeper decline than Q4's 5%. That resulted in total product orders dropping 2% (compares with 1% growth in Q4), in spite of a 5% increase in enterprise orders and a 1% increase in commercial (SMB) orders. Public sector orders were flat. On the earnings call, CEO Chuck Robbins said his company saw certain carriers "just fundamentally freeze capex." He blamed several factors, including forex swings, industry consolidation, regulatory/political uncertainty and a focus on spending in areas (such as mobile radio networks) where Cisco doesn't have much exposure. This comes after weak results and/or guidance were provided in October by telecom equipment giants Nokia (NOK) and Ericsson (ERIC) --the latter is a major Cisco partner--as well as optical networking hardware firm Infinera (INFN) . On Tuesday, Nokia guided at its annual Capital Markets Day for its core Networks division's revenue to fall in 2017 "in line with its primary addressable market," and for the entire company's free cash flow to be just slightly positive next year. Though all of the aforementioned capex issues cited by Robbins may well be real, the fact so many of the world's biggest carriers are see minimal, if not declining, revenue growth is hard to overlook when weighing the numbers posted by telecom equipment suppliers. Nor can it be overlooked that the one big source of service provider capex growth in recent years--cloud giants such as Google, Amazon and Facebook--often prefer to use "white-box" switches built by Asian contract manufacturers. Some are also avid customers of Arista Networks' (ANET) switches. On the call, Robbins said Cisco's sales to its top 10 cloud accounts were roughly flat in Q4, with some "incredibly strong" performances offset by spending pauses elsewhere. Meanwhile, Cisco's switching revenue, which skews toward enterprises and makes up about 40% of product sales, fell 7%, to $3.7 billion. The company blamed weak demand for the "campus" switches used to handle office network traffic, which in turn was blamed on macro issues. But analysts also raised questions about data center switching sales, for which adoption of public cloud infrastructures is a headwind. Cisco asserted a product transition away from "legacy" hardware has weighed, and noted sales of its next-generation ACI switching hardware and software rose 33%. Routing revenue managed to grow 6% with the help of large deals. But with a majority of routing sales coming from carriers, Cisco suggested growth is likely to weaken. Elsewhere, wireless revenue (Wi-Fi dominated) fell 2%, collaboration revenue fell 3% and the data center reporting segment, which covers Cisco's UCS servers, saw revenue drop 3%. It's worth noting HP Enterprise (HPE) , which is a big Cisco rival in campus switching and Wi-Fi, saw its networking revenue grow 12% in the July quarter, with its Aruba Networks Wi-Fi unit posting 20% growth.

Cisco, Nokia, Ciena Named SDN Leaders

Three vendors lead the pack for software-defined networking ( #SDN ) orchestration: #Cisco/Tail-f, #Nokia and #Ciena. That's according to respondents in a questionnaire by IHS Markit, which on Wednesday revealed the results of a survey conducted with global service providers who have deployed or will deploy software-defined networking and network functions virtualization ( #NFV ).

“In our survey of global carriers, Cisco/Tail-f, Nokia and Ciena led all vendors in unaided brand awareness for SDN orchestration software. And Cisco/Tail-f and Nokia were also tops in SDN hardware and software under evaluation," said Michael Howard, senior research director and advisor of carrier networks at IHS Markit.{ad}

The researcher asked the survey respondents to list their top three vendors for SDN orchestration. Cisco/Tail-f was by far the most popular – getting approximately 60 percent. Nokia trailed with about 45 percent, and Ciena finished just ahead of #Juniper and #Huawei in third place.

To Infinity, and Beyond! – Scaling Your Hadoop Infrastructure

In this special guest feature, Tom Lyon, Chief Scientist at #DriveScale, describes how to run demanding analytics applications and/or 1000+ node Hadoop workloads on commodity servers and storage. Tom is a computing systems architect, a serial entrepreneur and a kernel hacker. He most recently co-founded DriveScale, a company that is pioneering flexible, scale-out computing for the enterprise using standard servers and commodity storage. He received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University. Tom was also a founder at #NuovaSystems (sold to #Cisco) and #IpsilonNetworks (sold to #Nokia). Additionally, as employee #8 at #SunMicrosystems, Tom made seminal contributions to the UNIX kernel, created the SunLink product family, and was one of the NFS and SPARC architects. So, you’ve had your Hadoop cluster for a while. You’ve got maybe 50 to 100 nodes running stably, you’ve got some mastery of the analytics frameworks – whether #Spark or #Flink or good old #MapReduce. You’ve been able to demonstrate real business value from your cluster and you’re ready to take it to a whole new level with lots more data and a lot more applications and users. The hardware for your cluster was probably not a big concern as you dove into #Hadoop, so you went with the typical racks of commodity servers, each with 12 or 24 hard drives. It works, so why think about different hardware? Well, because as your cluster size approaches many hundreds of nodes, it will certainly be the biggest cluster in your data center, and may even become the majority of your compute infrastructure. At this scale, inefficiencies caused by poorly balanced resources can add up to a lot of wasted time, money, power, heat, and space!

White House pledges $400 million to research 5G wireless technology

The Obama Administration on Friday announced a $400 million initiative led by the National Science Foundation that will conduct research in the area of 5G wireless technology which promises to be up to 100 times faster than today’s 4G LTE. The Advanced Wireless Research Initiative (AWRI), which builds on the Federal Communications Commission’s recent Spectrum Frontiers vote, will deploy four city-scale testing platforms over the next decade that will be used for advanced wireless research. Each platform will be comprised of a network of software-defined radio antennas blanketing their respective cities, essentially mimicking existing cellular networks. The White House says this will allow academic researchers, entrepreneurs and wireless companies to test, prove and refine their technologies and software algorithms in a real-world setting.

Nokia and Samsung announce expanded patent licensing deal

#Nokia and #Samsung are cozying up together for the second time this year after the duo announced an expansion of the patent licensing deal that they agreed back in February. Under these new terms, the companies will share “certain additional patent portfolios”. The pair’s previous deal covered an unspecific set of patents, and this latest announce is equally as vague. But, Nokia — which massively expanded its patent trove with its $16 billion purchase of #AlcatelLucent — was more specific on the financial outcome of this agreement, which it said will increase revenue from patent and licensing to around EUR 950 million, that’s about $1 billion, per year. Certainly a figure worth writing home about. “With intellectual property portfolios from Nokia Technologies, Nokia Networks and Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia has a wealth of technologies relevant to mobile devices and beyond. We welcome this expanded agreement with Samsung which recognizes the strength of our assets, and we continue to pursue new licensing opportunities across a number of diverse industries,” Ramzi Haidamus, president of Nokia Technologies, said in a statement.

The first 400G fiber route will link Denmark and Frankfurt

As carriers around the world work to meet consumer and business demand for high-speed connectivity, transport providers and fiber network owners are similarly upgrading the backbone infrastructure to support the evolving industry. The latest upgrade, currently being rolled out in parts of Europe, is the introduction of 400G by #Telia Carrier in partnership with #Coriant, which is providing its #CloudWave Optics, technology that combines signal processing and integrated photonics. A software-defined platform enables efficiency and scalability. Coriant’s Groove G30 DCI Platform provides 3.2 terabits of capacity to cloud and data center networks. Last year 400G was still being tested by companies like #AlcatelLucent, which has since been bought by #Nokia. At the time, Alcatel-Lucent IP Routing and Transport CTO Steve Vogelsang discussed the technology in a blog post: “Ultra broadband networks and the devices that use them make our lives easier and more connected. New conveniences drive insatiable desire for more bandwidth which is leading to an annual IP traffic expansion of 50% or more. Keeping up with this demand is a huge challenge for broadband service providers. They must constantly re-engineer the network while it’s running and get the most out of every dollar invested in the infrastructure. New technologies like NFV and SDN hold out the promise to automate and optimize networks allowing operators to get ahead of demand and do more with less. It is not an understatement to say that SDN and NFV are a seismic shift in the way service providers think about their networks and the way they offer services. We are, after all, in the midst of a communications revolution driven by the convergence of cloud, IP and web. To succeed, your networks must be as agile, flexible and efficient as the cloud-based applications they support. They also need to scale higher and more efficiently than ever before.”
