HCI at the edge – Why an Edge Computing Platform Future Proofs IT Infrastructure

The digital infrastructure sector is booming worldwide as the edge buildout progresses and organizations continue to adapt to the effects of the pandemic. But what emerging challenges lie ahead and what trends will define the coming year? Join us for an exciting webinar that will cover the Uptime Institute Intelligence team’s top five issues for 2022. These include sustainability reporting and the difficulty of achieving zero-carbon emissions, the uneven impacts of processor innovations, supply chain problems and the concentration risk of cloud computing.

Delivery of applications with the best user experience is the mission of any IT organization. While Multi-Cloud and SaaS make it possible to distribute applications closer to the users, the challenge shifts to the network to securely provide the optimal path that meets SLA requirements.

Your customers are demanding contextually relevant and easy-to-consume experiences—wherever and however they choose. To deliver these, you need an efficient way to manage and deliver all your content, as well as the ability to extract rich insights about the customer’s journey and create highly personalized experiences.

In spite of the clear success of the hyperscale public cloud providers, many organizations – due to cost, control, refactoring complexity and data sovereignty issues – are choosing to host many workloads with regional cloud service providers (CSP), in colocation/interconnection facilities or to simply keep workloads on-premise. These data center operators, whether xSP or enterprise, typically already manage multiple data centers today. With the growth of IoT and edge compute on the horizon, they need to prepare to deploy and manage 10’s if not 100’s of mini- and micro-data centers in the future. It is critical that data center operators review and analyze their networking approach to multi-site data center architecture now in order to streamline operations and costs today and to prepare for the IoT and edge compute tsunami of tomorrow.
