WHEN PERFORMANCE MATTERS
Autonomous platforms such as self-driving and intelligent cars need instantaneous access to applications and data to make critical decisions for safety, navigation, and security. Or maybe it’s just ensuring smooth transition between cell towers for uninterrupted delivery of video for the kids in the back seat. Edge Clouds put resources close at hand to reduce latency and ensure maximum platform performance.
ON-DEMAND, ELASTIC
RESOURCES
Applications such as video surveillance create massive amounts of data that need to be processed locally for facial recognition, fraud detection, anomaly detection and security. Sampling, blanking, blurring, tagging and indexing all need to occur locally. Edge Clouds allow for expansion and contraction of resources that flex with the surrounding conditions.
AGILITY, REUSABILITY, CHOICE
Across all industries, digital transformation is driving demand for integrated solutions that are comprised of different applications and services – not just proprietary single-vendor devices. Edge Clouds provide an open platform that enables enterprises and service providers to deliver reusable infrastructure that can support a wide variety of best-of-breed products from different suppliers.
EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Companies are faced with the challenge of increasing operational efficiency and increasing the lifespan of assets and business processes. Edge Clouds deliver flexible resources for the creation of digital twins that enable real-time simulation of devices, systems and processes. Processing data locally, digital twins reduce the dependency on back-end clouds and shorten the response time for mission- and life-critical applications.
EDGE ANALYTICS AND MACHINE LEARNING
Edge applications generate massive amounts of data from sensors and IoT devices. This data gains value when deep analytics and machine learning are applied. Sending all data to back-end public clouds is inefficient and introduces security and privacy issues. Edge Clouds deliver scalable compute, storage and networking that enables the applications to process data locally and make decisions quickly.
