Hewlett Packard Enterprise is in the midst of a “grand plan” to “cross-pollinate” the HPE Aruba Networking and Juniper Mist AIOps networking portfolios to leverage their respective microservices-based architectures, HPE Networking President and General Manager Rami Rahim said. “We can keep these platforms and their unique deployment capabilities in place and start to cross-pollinate,” Rahim said in a question-and-answer session at the HPE Securities Analyst meeting on Wednesday. Rahim’s comments are the first indication of exactly how the integration of the two AIOps-based networking portfolios will proceed in the wake of HPE’s $13.4 billion blockbuster acquisition of Juniper Networks, which was completed in July. HPE CEO Antonio Neri said HPE GreenLake’s hybrid cloud platform will also play a key role in the integration with its common cloud platform and services. Here’s what else Rahim, Neri and HPE Chief Financial Officer Marie Myers had to say about the ongoing integration, including channel program alignment. Plus, partner perspective from C.R.

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware is pushing CIOs to rethink plans fast. Pricing is shifting from perpetual to subscription bundles, renewals feel less flexible, and many teams are modeling steep TCO impacts. Leaders are stress testing vendor lock-ins and mapping dependencies to avoid ugly surprises during migration. Lining up a POC with an alternative platform is essential to keep leverage in negotiations. The smart move now is to get precise about scope, timelines, and exit ramps, factor downtime risk into budgets, and diversify where it strengthens resilience and cost control.

++ Dell Technologies Unveils World’s First Single-Server Solution to Transform Edge and Telecom Infrastructure ++ Dell Technologies announces the new Dell PowerEdge XR8720t designed to transform edge and telecom infrastructure by delivering unprecedented performance and connectivity, especially for Open RAN and Cloud RAN deployments. Traditionally, the need for multi-server deployments has hindered the adoption of Cloud RAN and advanced edge computing, burdening organizations with higher costs, operational complexity, space issues and power demands. Inefficiencies and scalability limitations make it difficult to meet the real-time performance needs of next-generation applications. The Dell PowerEdge XR8720t eliminates these barriers as the industry’s first single-server solution for Cloud RAN, streamlining infrastructure, boosting performance and efficiency, and significantly reducing total cost of ownership for modern network and edge deployments. “The Dell PowerEdge XR8720t represents a significant step forward in telecom and edge infrastructure innovation. As a first platform of its kind, it is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Open RAN and Cloud RAN deployments while delivering exceptional performance and scalability for edge workloads. This breakthrough allows organizations to consolidate workloads that once required multiple systems, simplifying infrastructure and paving the way for more powerful, efficient and AI-ready networks.” –Dennis Hoffman, Senior Vice President, Dell Technologies “Combining Canonical’s infrastructure software stack – based on Ubuntu, MicroCloud, and Kubernetes – with the robust performance of the Dell PowerEdge XR8720t provides a powerful and flexible foundation for organizations to rapidly develop and deploy workloads for RAN and edge. This collaboration simplifies the path to production and enables telcos, application providers, and enterprises to accelerate innovation and securely unlock the full potential of data at the edge.” –Regis Paquette, SVP Global Sales Alliances, Channels & Industry verticals, Canonical 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dj32NX-i #TechAfricaNews #Dell #SingleServer #EdgeInfrastructure #Telecom #DigitalTransformation #EdgeComputing #DataCenter #NetworkEvolution

💡 Broadcom–VMware Shake-up: Rising Costs, Subscription Shock, and Enterprise Response   Broadcom’s overhaul of VMware’s licensing and pricing models has sent shockwaves through global IT budgets. As perpetual licenses disappear and subscription-only models take hold, many organizations are facing renewal shocks—forcing procurement, IT, and finance leaders to completely rethink their virtualization strategies. What began as a routine acquisition has rapidly evolved into a global inflection point in enterprise virtualization economics. Public-sector institutions, universities, and SMBs—once accustomed to predictable CAPEX—are now confronting long-term subscription lock-ins, reduced flexibility, and fewer partner options. Yet amid this turbulence, forward-looking enterprises are turning disruption into opportunity. They’re using this moment to: ✅ Reevaluate cost structures and renewal terms ✅ Diversify across hypervisors and hybrid cloud platforms ✅ Strengthen governance and sourcing maturity At Avasant, we’re helping clients navigate this transformation with data-backed negotiation strategies, benchmark-driven sourcing intelligence, and future-ready migration roadmaps—ensuring that procurement maturity translates into measurable business advantage. 🔍 Read our Research Byte to explore: ● The financial and operational impact of Broadcom’s licensing realignment ● How enterprises are building resilience through diversification and smarter sourcing ● Avasant’s approach to turning procurement challenges into strategic advantage 📘 https://lnkd.in/gwD9NT2f Akshay Khanna Andre Sole Krishnendu Moulick #BroadcomVMwareAcquisition #EnterpriseVirtualization #VendorGovernance #LicenseRenewalStrategies #CloudEconomics #Procurement #TechAdvisory

How Dell Technologies’ disaggregated infrastructure & portfolio stand out from the competitors 🦾 Join #theCUBE at Dell’s ”5 Steps to Smarter Private Cloud,” as our host David Vellante sits down with Dell’s Alison M. Biers, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Servers, and Alyson Langon, Director of Product Marketing, Private Cloud and Edge Solutions, to discuss how Dell’s disaggregated infrastructure and industry-leading hardware and software provide a world-class private cloud to customers. ”We are seeing a move towards disaggregated infrastructure, the need to be able to juggle both modern and traditional workloads. Virtualization space is driving this move, as it eliminates the compromises of older architectures by combining the flexibility of three-tier systems with the simplicity of hyperconverged. Disaggregated infrastructure combines the best of both of these,” Langon shares. “What sets Dell apart is our industry-leading hardware, storage, servers, networking and data protection. Layering on top of that is our open ecosystem. The next pillar is around our intrinsic data security, providing proactive, comprehensive protection for your data. The last piece is our software-driven automation across our entire portfolio. It includes intelligent monitoring, automated issue remediation with AIOps, our data reduction and compression capabilities, all built in our stack,” she adds. 💡 Get more insights! https://lnkd.in/d2DzaS2J #DisaggregatedInfrastructure #PrivateCloud #CloudComputing

Modernizing IT infrastructure is essential for maximizing efficiency and ensuring ongoing support. I found it interesting that the article highlights the integration of compute, storage, and networking as a key factor in successful modernization. This approach simplifies deployment and optimizes operations. How is your organization approaching IT modernization, and what strategies have you found most effective?
