Last month, Graphiant came out of stealth with a new network service offering. While there are many network vendors that sell what has become known as NaaS, most are subscription services where customers pay a discounted rate for the upfront hardware and then a monthly fee for software.
The term XDR, for extended detection and response, has been bandied about for almost half a decade. I believe I was the first analyst to use it when I authored this post in 2018. When I wrote the post, I had a very specific definition in mind, but like most things in tech, once a term starts to gain traction, more and more vendors bend the definition to meet their needs.
This month, start up Graphiant exited stealth mode with a network as a service (NaaS) offering.
While there are many NaaS solutions available to buyers today, most are just a different way to license the products. Instead of paying $1 for the product and an additional 20 cents per year for maintenance, customers now pay anywhere from nothing to 20 cents up front. with a monthly subscription for a certain term, such as 3, 5 or even 7 years.
Last week, Box held its BoxWorks 2022 event in a virtual format. Box also ran an analyst summit in parallel with BoxWorks, which was kicked off by CEO Aaron Levie.
His keynote started predictably by addressing the change in work style from hybrid work, but he did so through the lens of content. He set the stage nicely by laying out how much work has changed—people shifted from working with local teams to collaborating with a wide network of people, digital processes no longer augments work but is at the core of work, data is scattered everywhere and that automation, if done right, enables us to work better.
This week Box Inc. is using its virtual user summit, BoxWorks 2022, as a way to map out the future of work — which it views as hybrid for good.
Box today announced the general availability of the revamped Box Notes for real-time content collaboration and project management, the upcoming beta of Box Canvas, for visual collaboration and whiteboarding, and the pending release of Content Insights, which provides visibility on how content is being accessed, consumed and used.
