Fortinet Customer Data Stolen; Boeing to Test Quantum Entanglement Networking

Take a Network Break! This week we discuss the theft of 440Gbytes of customer data from a Fortinet cloud repository, how to think about resiliency after an AT&T network update kills access to Azure apps, and new troubleshooting features in Juniper Apstra.

HPE goes to the bond market to raise as much as $6.5 billion for its Juniper acquisition, AI infrastructure build-outs boost high-end switch sales, and Nvidia quietly joins the Ultra Ethernet Consortium to help transform Ethernet into an AI-friendly network option.

A county council in Dublin, Ireland denies Google planning permission for a new data center because of concerns over electrical capacity, and Boeing schedules a satellite launch to test quantum entanglement for networking.
