Taking Data to the Edge
in this Era of COVID-19
We all know that data is quickly becoming the new corporate currency. It has become critical to doing business today. However, data in raw form has little value. It needs to be manipulated and analyzed to truly be valued and consumed. The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) into our daily lives is driving a profound change in the way computing workloads are deployed. Add to that the advent of 5G and the dramatic rise in mobile device usage, and it's easy to see why many organizations are shifting their compute and data to the geographical edge of their enterprises where they can deploy as close as possible to end users and devices.
In this Tech Talk, 'The State of the Edge' Flexential's Tim Parker will answer the following questions:
