Prince: So the way we've moved things forward, last 10-15 years, is to do [new] things in silicon.
Advanced IP Pipeline: Doesn't designing new silicon add a layer of complexity to a startup?
Prince: Back in the Foundry days, we had to do all our own silicon from scratch -- 13 ASICs in our first product, very silicon-intensive. Things have changed a bit in networking, in that a lot of the basic components needed to do the switching functions are [widely] available today. So we can choose to innovate in the deep packet processing.
Advanced IP Pipeline: What's it like running a startup in Silicon Valley these days?
Prince: It's actually easier. There's a lot of infrastructure available for pretty cheap prices -- for exmple, our building here [in Milpitas] costs 38 cents per square foot to rent. And there are a lot of smart people available, so you can get really good talent.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
