FEATURE : EDGE
AS THE NETWORK PERIMETER CONTINUES TO DISSOLVE , DUE IN PART TO EDGE COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES AND SHIFT TO REMOTE WORK , ORGANISATIONS NEED TO LEVERAGE EXISTING SECURITY ADVANTAGES .
As data-driven services are becoming more pervasive and complex , they require more compute and intelligence closer to the endpoint devices that are both generating and consuming data at the edge . The customer outcome is near real time insight that enables a more personalised experience for their customer and a competitive advantage .
With the increasing use of Internet of Things , IoT devices – from smart cameras , mobile point-ofsale kiosks , medical sensors , and industrial PCs to gateways and computing infrastructure – the need for faster and near-real-time actionable insights is rapidly driving the adoption and use of edge computing at a rapid pace .
Intel has worked in open standards for years to align edge use cases and fix common integration challenges for future-proofed , extensible , open solutions . “ Intel has over 73,000 edge deployments returning real business value ,” says Intel ’ s Ibrahim . Intel Market Ready Solutions put deployment on a fast track with a mature ecosystem of 1,200 edge partners and hundreds of Intel IoT Market Ready Solutions .
When deploying edge-based solutions , businesses are primarily looking for multiple benefits .
Increase speed and lower latency , which will help quicken system response time and enable faster transactions and better experiences that could be vital in near real-time applications , such as autonomous vehicle operation .
