                    VMware has joined the OPEN-O Project, recently formed to enable network operators to deliver end-to-end services across network functions virtualization infrastructure, software-defined networks and legacy network services.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    Although old-guard networking company Cisco was slow to embrace new-age disruptions such as network functions virtualization and software-defined networking, it's fully invested now and a company exec predicts big things for the upstart technologies in the year ahead.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    Public cloud computing costs more than do-it-yourself datacenters. Except when it doesn't.
