Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise unveils OmniVista Terra for secure networks
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has unveiled OmniVista Terra, its new on-premises network management system designed to provide organisations with advanced control over their network infrastructure within a local deployment. OmniVista Terra is developed to support enterprises in sectors with strict regulatory requirements for local data hosting and control, such as transportation, energy and utilities, healthcare, and defence. The system complements Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's existing cloud-based solution, OmniVista Cirrus, by offering identical advanced features in an environment that can be hosted on-premises. AI-driven operations The new management system utilises artificial intelligence to streamline routine network management activities, aiming to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of IT teams. One of the highlighted features is an AI-chatbot interface that lets network administrators interact with the system using natural language, which provides real-time responses for network queries, configuration assistance, and troubleshooting. Additionally, OmniVista Terra is integrated with the AIOps tool, OmniVista Network Advisor, which enhances incident management. This integration enables the identification of root causes in incidents and supports efficient mitigation processes across the network estate, contributing to faster issue resolution. Enhanced network visibility According to the company, OmniVista Terra provides in-depth analytics on network performance, user behaviour, and device status, offering IT teams the data required to identify and address network issues efficiently. Its observability features include real-time monitoring, quality of experience data, and historical analysis, which simplify the diagnostic process and support long-term planning. The system also integrates with security and private 5G wireless platforms, such as Versa and Celona, to facilitate unified network control. This approach allows administrators to manage the entire network infrastructure - including devices, wireless access points, and private cellular components - within a single management framework. Centralised management OmniVista Terra, together with OmniVista Cirrus, forms a unified management suite for Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's portfolio, encompassing switches, wireless access points, IoT devices, Celona Private 5G, and Versa's SD-WAN and SASE solutions. The suite is intended to deliver consistent policy enforcement and centralised management for organisations with diverse networking needs. The company notes that the local deployment model of OmniVista Terra suits government bodies and highly regulated industries that require full in-house control over data and infrastructure. This flexibility allows organisations to choose between cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid deployment scenarios. "ALE OmniVista platform is the cornerstone of our strategy to unify, simplify and automate the AI powered operations of the entire infrastructure. OmniVista Terra extends the benefit of unmatched network visibility, control and security to on-premises deployment" said Stephan Robineau, EVP of the Network Business Division at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise states that OmniVista Terra is designed with security as a core feature, with the aim of meeting data protection requirements at both national and international levels, and minimising environmental impact. The company's broader strategy includes a focus on environment sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance. Its solutions are presented as addressing the operational needs of organisations while aligning with regulatory and industry requirements in each market sector it serves. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's network management offerings are available globally through a network of business partners, with headquarters in France and a stated presence in markets worldwide.

Versa Recognized in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms for Third Year in a Row
Versa is One of Only Three Vendors to be Recognized in Gartner Magic Quadrants for SD-WAN, Security Service Edge, and SASE Platforms SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Versa, the global leader in Universal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced it has been recognized in the just-released 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms report 1, which provides evaluations of 11 converged security and networking services across multiple criteria. Versa is one of only three SASE vendors to be recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrants for Security Service Edge2, SD-WAN3, and SASE Platforms.

"We are thrilled to be recognized for a third consecutive year in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE solutions," said Kelly Ahuja, Versa CEO. "Our VersaONE Universal SASE Platform is trusted by enterprises and service providers globally to simplify how they protect every edge and securely connect anything, anywhere, anytime — all powered by a modern operating system that uses AI across security, networking, and operations."

Nissan Halts U.S. Production for Canada Amid Tariff Dispute and Mounting Losses
Nissan (NSANY, Financials) has stopped making three models in the U.S. that it sends to Canada: the Pathfinder, the Murano, and the Frontier. This is because of growing trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa. The company said the decision was only temporary and that it hopes talks with the government will lead to a deal shortly. Nissan didn't say when the suspension started or how long it might remain, but Japan's Nikkei stated it started in May. Canada is only a small portion of Nissan's global business, making up about 3% of its entire sales. However, the disruption shows how swiftly trade politics can affect supply networks. In Tennessee, Nissan puts together the Pathfinder and Murano, and in Mississippi, it puts together the Frontier. But the most popular cars in Canada, the Versa, Sentra, and Rogue, are made in Mexico tastefully and still make up . The bigger picture is more worrisome. Nissan is having trouble with money. The corporation lost $4.5 billion in the year ending March and has about $4.79 billion in debt that is due. Its debt's credit ratings have dropped to junk status. According to Reuters, Nissan has also asked suppliers for longer time to pay so that it can keep its cash flow. Mazda, another Japanese carmaker, has also stopped making cars in Alabama that are going to Canada and is instead making more cars for buyers in the U.S. Nissan doesn't make cars in Canada, yet last year it sold only 104,000 there. That's less than half of what it sold in Mexico and roughly one-tenth of what it sold in the U.S. But even a tiny market may be stressful when costs are going up, margins are low, and trade policy is changing.
