Edge computing is enabling incredible data velocity across industrial sectors by positioning storage and processing on location to gather insights faster. But scaling edge infrastructure comes with immense challenges around managing distributed systems, securing data, and scaling intelligently.
In this post, we’ll overview the core difficulties IT teams at large distributed organizations face when rolling out company-wide edge deployments, with advice on driving success.
The Proliferation and Promise of Edge Processing
With internet-connected IoT devices poised to surpass 20 billion by 2025, edge IT provides the capability to filter and translate immense real-time data flows into optimized analysis and directives where the action is happening. This powers everything from responsive manufacturing automation to dynamic supply chain coordination and real-time risk detections. SEE HERE
