VMware launches new VeloCloud SASE to help tie together all your edge infrastructure

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

VMware is harking back to the past for the launch of its new SASE offering at Mobile World Congress 2024.

The company has unveiled VMware VeloCloud SASE, a single-vendor SASE solution bringing together VeloCloud SD-WAN, and Symantec SSE.

VMware acquired VeloCloud back in 2017, and originally phased out the company's branding some years later, but has now brought it back as it launches a new SASE product.

VeloCloud SASE return

Revealing the news in a pre-brief ahead of MWC 2024, Abe Ankumah, Broadcom’s Head of SD-WAN, Software-Defined Edge Division, noted that the launch would help allow customers to modernize their underlying infrastructure whilst also monetizing new services.

He added that VMware's approach to the software-designed edge has to focus on enabling a right-size infrastructure (in terms of shrinking the tech stack), zero-touch orchestration (as edge locations are increasingly distributed, and not always constantly online), and network programmability (looking at a need to be agile and flexible where needed).

Ankumah added that the motivation behind re-introducing the VeloCloud brand came because a lot of its customers and partners still refer to VMware existing offerings as VeloCloud, despite the brand being previously hidden away.

"The customer is always right - so we're going to reflect that, and bring back the brand," he laughed.

"The number of new use cases we're able to open up...bears the full-strength of everything we're doing in the software-defined edge," he added.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search. You can literally snap a photo of a weird-looking kitchen tool and ask, “What is this, and how do I use it?” and get a helpful answer, complete with shopping links and YouTube demos. AI Eyes If you take a picture of a bookshelf, a plate of food, or the chaotic interior of your junk...

Passing the torch to a new era of open source technology

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The practice of developing publicly accessible technologies and preventing monopolies of privately-owned, closed-source infrastructure was a pivotal technological movement in the 1990s and 2000s. The open source software movement was viewed at the time as a form of ‘digital civil duty’, democratizing access to technology. However, while the movement's ethos underpins much of today’s technological landscape, its evolution has proven to be a challenge for its pioneers. Hurdles Facing Young Developers Open source models successfully paved a path for the development of a multitude of technologies, cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing, collaboration , and community along the way. Unfortunately, monetizing such projects has always been a challenge, and ensuring contributors are compensated for their contributions working on them, even more so. On the other hand, closed-source projects offer greater control, security, and competitive advant...
