OpenStack Says Its New StarlingX Edge Computing Project Is Important for IaaS
Jonathan Bryce, the executive director of the OpenStack Foundation, said that the scope of edge computing is extremely large, and StarlingX is needed to fill one of the spaces in the stack.
The blockchain service is based on the Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger Fabric and the Alibaba Group financial affiliate’s blockchain platform.
The company lowered its guidance for the fourth quarter due to the slower pace of expected deployments in cloud.
These investors and other major companies also joined a Team8-led coalition that aims to rethink security by building it into network and cloud infrastructure.
The partnership will provide Samsung with access to the Japanese market and NEC with its first hardware foray outside of its home market.
This is the second vendor CenturyLink is using for its managed SD-WAN. The company launched its service in 2016 using Versa Networks' platform.
Initially, the service will just be available in “parts” of 12 cities. The company plans to launch 5G in seven more markets in early 2019.
