Edge computing is designed to put applications and data closer to devices — and their users. While cloud computing drove the creation of mega data centers, edge computing brings distributed IT with an exponential number of micro data centers.
Find everything you need to know about the edge and its role in the digital transformation.
Meet user expectations by complementing these cloud-based resources — from compute power to storage and applications — in the digital transformation to improve the customer experience, streamline operations, and create new business opportunities.
That’s where edge computing comes in. Edge data centers help achieve higher bandwidth, lower latency, regulatory compliance around location, and data privacy.
Edge computing environments demand the same reliability and performance standards as large data centers.
Edge data centers are often dispersed “lights out” facilities, with little or no IT staff. Traditional remote management solutions can be costly and difficult to scale. Innovative cloud-based platforms provide:
To prevent unauthorized access to IT equipment in edge data centers, proper physical security is critical, requiring three components:
As companies plan a large number of edge data center deployments, it’s important to ensure that they are standardized, repeatable, and rapid. This requires:
