Instead, the announcements were centered around platforms and cross-product integration to simplify operations while delivering more value.
NVIDIA and Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank have partnered to create a platform for generative artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G/6G applications based on NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip.
This week Veeam is holding its annual user event, VeeamON, in Miami, FL. This is the 9th year that Veeam has held the event, and attendance has steadily grown as Veeam’s customer base has enlarged.

Cisco recently rolled out a new service called Customer Digital Experience Monitoring, which integrates its application monitoring tool AppDynamics and ThousandEyes network intelligence tools.
