Adopting edge computing is the next important step in future-proofing your infrastructure.
Hosting business-critical applications in the cloud is a high-risk strategy because connectivity is vulnerable to interruption, for example, a network cable being severed by accident. An edge computing solution supports smoother operations without disruption, even in remote areas. Reliability increases because the solution is less exposed to external interruptions and so its risk of failure falls.
In many cases, running some IT processing alongside Operational Technology processing at the edge drives efficiencies such as consolidating cooling requirements and combining maintenance visits.Data is the lifeblood of global organisations and the volumes involved are increasing all the time. As data traffic grows, the costs of the bandwidth to support it are spiralling upwards, with no sign of stopping.
