Monday Bytes: Inmanta, Nokia, Lumen, Vantage

An expansion and three collaborations to keep an eye on:

Inmanta is turning its sights on new markets beyond the company’s European haunts. The cloud infrastructure and telecom automation and orchestration provider has announced an expansion into Africa. Infrastructure investments in African markets have been on the rise, and operators are doing more and more things locally.

Nokia and OneLayer are teaming up to solve problems for the energy utility marketplace. The idea is to combine Nokia’s private networking technologies with OneLayer’s OT asset management capabilities to help modernize energy grids using secure 5G. The more devices connected to a network, the more security vulnerabilities there are that need to be covered.

Lumen is teaming up with Commvault to address enterprise needs to keep data safe and easy to recover when things go wrong. The two companies are putting together a joint architecture that leverages Lumen’s secure global network infrastructure with Commvault’s cyber resilience platform. LUmen is using the platform not just for customers, but within its own operations to consolidate legacy backup platforms.

And Vantage Data Centers is teaming up with the Wisconsin Building Trades Council as it moves ahead with its Lighthouse data center project in Port Washington. It’s a $15B investment that will take some 4,000 construction workers over the next three years. Vantage is looking to tap into the region’s base or union workers to help get it all done.
