                    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.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    Once again, the past proves to be prologue.

                     It's not an exaggeration to say that containers are the hottest trend in IT. KubeCon only confirmed that perception.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    IoT is here, but isn't yet well developed. Before jumping in, consider carefully what's available now and what your goals are for the future.
