How cloud-native design enhances performance at the edge

Cloud-native principles power the edge’s need for speed

Cloud-native design principles make cloud apps scalable, flexible, and more quickly deployable. Those principles can be applied to situations other than cloud, as well. Take edge computing, for instance. Edge can be thought of as a point-of-presence cloud, so applying cloud-native principles to the edge can make app performance, processing, and scalability cloud-like. And it can help solve the “edge war” of the future: the battle to reduce latency to its vanishing point.

Now we're saying on the edge, well, what if we rethink what we mean by a datacenter? And now it isn't necessarily just some massive building with huge power and cooling requirements.

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.
