Models for Monetising 5G & Edge Computing Investments

Multiple U.S. intelligence agency assessments have concluded that a foreign nation state sought to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In response, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission released non-competitive grant funding to help states and U.S. territories raise the cybersecurity of their Election Critical Infrastructure. Gaining visibility into the security posture of Election Infrastructure is often difficult, even for smaller municipalities. States and municipalities need a prescriptive solution that will help them ramp up security visibility quickly.

Enterprise organizations that are in the process of transforming their private VMware clouds into hybrid clouds are often presented with scenarios for making on-premises virtual machines, applications, and data readily usable in public clouds. Traditionally, achieving such tasks is not easy due to the migration and conversion of virtual machines and how it may impact application and data stored within them.

As networks get smarter, network infrastructure needs to get simpler. Once IoT applications scale up, the number of connected devices will increase exponentially, making infrastructure provisioning increasingly complex.The connected world needs a solution that converges power and data infrastructure to cater to triple-play services and power consumption demands of edge network assets. A smart way to do this is to re-engineer category cable design and technical standards for enhanced business and operational performance.

The rollout of 5G brings with it all the possibilities of new services, more opportunities to scale, and accelerating growth. It also brings more complexity to today’s networks. With growth, the level of operations becomes increasingly difficult with new software demands and multiple tools managing ever-changing technologies. A new operations model is required to handle all of this.
