News, Analysis and Perspective for Solution Providers and Technology Integrators Here are the five most important things customers and channel partners should know about Dell Technologies proposal to spin off its 81 percent stake in VMware. “It’s all about how services are delivered as subscriptions and how they are delivered from the cloud as services, and neither [HPE or Silver Peak] has strong base with the cloud. I think that‘s where it misses the mark,” said senior VP of VMware’s VeloCloud business unit Sanjay Uppal. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is taking its toll on ScanSource, which is laying off 200 people and winding down its Salesforce deployment services business after reporting a significant preliminary fourth quarter drop in sales, Baur tells CRN. From product announcements to emerging partner opportunities, here’s what most caught our attention during Microsoft’s global partner conference. While Nvidia is declining to comment on a report that it is interested in buying Arm, the GPU juggernaut has been making increasingly larger investments in Arm-based processors in recent years, from using them in SoCs to creating new blueprints for Arm-based servers. ‘They offer a choice to the customers,’ an Nvidia director told CRN last fall. Verizon wireless subscriber growth in the second quarter helped to offset declines in enterprise and SMB sales as the carrier battled the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg said Friday.

ScanSource To Lay Off 200, Shutter Salesforce Deployment Unit Due To COVID-19 Joseph F. Kovar ‘COVID has impacted our business in a dramatic way. And we‘ve continued to see a decline in revenue, which puts pressure on profitability. And so our basic message today is, we have to right-size the business. We have to match the spending to match the revenue,’ says ScanSource Chairman and CEO Mike Baur. Intel Delays 7nm Products, May Lean More On Foundries Dylan Martin The delay means Intel’s first 7nm client CPU won’t arrive until at least 2022 while its 7nm data center CPU won’t come until 2023, and it’s looking at turning to external chip foundries if more manufacturing issues persist. ‘The 7nm push isn’t a positive announcement as many products were dependent on it,’ an analyst says. Data Center Startup Novva Launches With $1 Billion Investment Mark Haranas ‘We can offer our clients some of the lowest TCO in the industry, located in a strategic part of the U.S. for both hub and edge compute, while offering unparalleled service,’ says Novva co-founder and Wes Swenson. NinjaRMM Partner Program A ‘Seamless Go-To-Market Strategy,’ Partner Says O’Ryan Johnson ‘You know, products are great, but experiences are better and that’s what really helped Ninja differentiate themselves. We lead with Ninja in every single RMM opportunity now because of the experience that Ninja was able to provide,’ says C1st Technologies co-founder Kent Fagan, a NinjaRMM partner. AT&T: 5G, Fiber Focus Will Anchor Carrier In The Wake Of COVID-19 Fallout Gina Narcisi The carrier‘s brand-new CEO, John Stankey, says that despite the fiscal impact of COVID-19, which will continue to be felt for the rest of the year, AT&T is prioritizing high-speed fiber and broadband, 5G and the creation of meaningful content to drive growth.
