Living on the edge: It's what the future of IT looks like
Edge computing has the potential to revolutionize IT—especially the way organizations interact with customers. But the edge space is still somewhat of a wild west, and there are competing theories of where it should go and how it can be utilized most effectively. There are even competing definitions of what “edge” truly is. In this episode of the podcast, David Linthicum and Edgevana CEO Mark Thiele break down edge computing—what it is, and isn’t, and ways companies can leverage it to help create better value for customers. Mark also gives his take on what an edge-enabled future would look like, and he gives some pointers on how organizations can build a path to get there.
Disclaimer: As referenced in this podcast, “Amazon” refers to AWS (Amazon Web Services) and “Google” refers to GCP (Google Cloud Platform).
When you're talking to someone about edge, not only do you have to have some relative clarity for what edge you're actually talking about, but you have to understand what perspective the person you're talking to is.
Mark Thiele is the CEO and founder of Edgevana, a startup providing IT services to the buy side and sell side of IT services for data center, ICT and cloud.
How is edge computing helping shape the future of IT?
Edge computing is often difficult to define, but what it's really about is better connections, less latency, and increased responsiveness.
Edge, cloud, or both?
The cloud has revolutionized IT and analytics, but it's not always the best choice when action has to occur quickly and close to the event. In those cases, edge computing may be the right way to go.
