Following Amazon (AMZN) Web Services re:Invent conference, Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron says the company's development efforts appear to be around delivering more complete solutions, turning AWS into a platform for data management, analytics, and artificial intelligence. According to interviews conducted at the conference, the analyst says the shift to the cloud is going to accelerate in coming years, but implementation of public cloud is still complex. Additionally, the results suggest that VMware (VMW) and Microsoft (MSFT) are viewed as "most strategic" to implementing hybrid clouds. Further, Kidron says the survey is negative for most traditional on premise vendors, and believes the vendors most likely to see headwinds include Dell/EMC (EMC), NetApp (NTAP), HP Enterprise (HPE), IBM (IBM), and Cisco (CSCO).

The Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed insider trading charges against Andreas "Andy" Bechtolsheim, the founder and Chief Architect of Silicon Valley-based technology company Arista Networks (ANET). To settle the SEC's charges, Bechtolsheim agreed to pay a civil penalty of nearly $1M. According to the SEC's complaint, Bechtolsheim misappropriated material nonpublic information regarding the impending acquisition of Acacia Communications, a manufacturer of highspeed optical interconnect products. The SEC alleges that Bechtolsheim, who was Arista Networks's chair at the time, learned of Acacia's impending acquisition on July 8, 2019, through his and Arista Networks's longstanding relationship with another multinational technology company that was also considering acquiring Acacia and consulted with Bechtolsheim concerning the potential acquisition. Immediately after learning this information, Bechtolsheim allegedly traded Acacia options in the accounts of a close relative and an associate. The next day, July 9, 2019, before the market opened, Acacia and Cisco (CSCO) announced that Cisco had agreed to acquire Acacia for $70 per share. That day, Acacia's stock price increased by 35.1%. According to the SEC's complaint, Bechtolsheim's trading generated combined illegal profits of $415,726 in the accounts of his relative and associate. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC's complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Bechtolsheim settled the SEC's charges by agreeing to be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years and to pay a civil monetary penalty of $923,740. The settlement is subject to court approval. Reference Link
