Carnegie Mellon’s Satya and Deloitte’s Rahul Bajpai talk edge computing

What’s going on at the edge with Carnegie Mellon’s Satya  and Deloitte’s Rahul Bajpai

In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Carnegie Mellon’s Dr. Mahadev Satyanarayanan and Deloitte’s connected edge leader, Rahul Bajpai, about edge computing. The group discusses use cases for edge, connectivity, and edge clouds—or cloudlets. They also talk about which industries are leveraging edge computing successfully, and how these companies are returning value to the business with their edge deployments. Finally, Satya makes predictions about the future out on the edge.

The goal is not to replace cloud computing by edge computing, but it is to recognize that they both have extremely important roles to play and to leverage their strengths to create end-to-end architectures that seamlessly combine their strengths.

Dr. Mahadev Satyanarayanan is the Carnegie Group Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. He has over 20 years of global experience in the telecom and high tech industries.

Rahul Bajpai is a Principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) practice and the US Leader for Cloud/Edge/5G services. With over 20 years of experience in the telecom and high-tech industries.

What's at the edge? The ability to solve real-world problems

Edge computing is the future of IT, but first it has to be standardized and managed properly. Companies that can effectively leverage the edge will be in a position to leapfrog their competitors.

Edge computing and its nearly endless possibilities

Edge computing is coming into its own, and the possibilities are almost limitless. Companies that effectively leverage its power now will be positioned well for an edge-based future.
