From the Graveyard
You just read about Microsoft. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Affirmed Networks built Virtualized and cloud-native mobile core. What became of it?
Affirmed Networks brought Virtualized and cloud-native mobile core to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Microsoft for US$1.35B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Microsoft today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From 25 years of the Converge Digest archive.
