Network Break 288: Aruba ESP Senses Opportunity At The Edge; Intel Wrestles With New Chip Attacks

Take a Network Break! Aruba announces Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform) at its ATMDigital event. ESP integrates Aruba’s wireless, wired, and SD-Branch portfolio and layers a new cloud-based AI service over the top. Intel wrestles with new chip vulnerabilities, and MIT walks away from negotiations with an academic publisher over paywalls. IBM walks away from facial recognition products while Microsoft and Amazon pause sales of facial recognition technology to U.S. police forces; the Wi-Fi Alliance denotes FCC chair Ajit Pai a “Wireless Champion”; and Extreme Networks gets a share-price pop when a board member makes a big share purchase. SpaceX gets a second crack at U.S. taxpayer money to fund rural broadband, and an open-source hobbyist gets around a trademark infringement levied by Let’s Encrypt with a clever pun. Tech Bytes: Aruba AIOps Stay tuned after the news for a Tech Bytes conversation with sponsor Aruba. We examine the AI capabilities in Aruba’s new Edge Services Platform with Aruba’s Chief Technologist of AIOps and HPE Fellow Jose Tellado. In particular, we look at how artificial intelligence can improve IT operations.
