An Edge Computing Breakup: Out with the Old, and In with the New

When COVID-19 arrived in early 2020, enterprises’ first priority was to patch together a communications and information-sharing infrastructure that could sustain operations until work could return to normal. More than a year later, returns are on hold, and enterprises are rethinking their visions of “normal.” They’re reimagining their workplaces and their business practices, embracing more flexible models that take advantage of the benefits of edge technologies.

Multi-Cloud Requires Impeccable Digital Hygiene

Businesses looking to deliberately form a multi-cloud strategy must first ensure that their standards of digital hygiene including cybersecurity protocols, tracking, clear roles and responsibilities are fit for purpose. This is fundamental to the success of reaping the very real benefits of, while managing the potential risks in terms of cloud security and cost containment.

Edge computing is now more relevant than ever

The necessity to deliver infrastructure, application, and data resources to edge locations will accelerate the deployment of new, cloud-centric edge and network solutions, maintains IDC. These will provide much quicker processing to satisfy increasing digitalisation efforts. Edge will also provide a critical building block for business resilience, providing all-important scalability, flexibility and agility.

I can see clearly now the Cloud has gone

David Noël, Regional Vice President, Southern Europe, Middle East & Africa at AppDynamics believes that ‘visibility’ in a hybrid cloud model is critical and could be the difference between prosperity or failure for enterprises in an exclusive op-ed for CNME.

AI drives the next evolution of Hyperconverged Infrastructure

The benefits of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) are by now well-known. HCI makes it simpler and easier to manage virtual desktops, apps and data remotely. It’s flexible and efficient, offering the ability to add more compute and storage as needed, just by adding a node. Enterprises are saving on power, space and cooling costs by moving to HCI platforms.

Huawei Increases Investment in Carrier Software

To strengthen its leadership in 5G business transformation, Huawei is increasing investment in carrier software as a strategy to support 5G business success. The announcement comes in response to the rapid development of innovative 5G enterprise market applications such as AR maintenance, remote PLC, intelligent quality inspection, and drone monitoring. 5G will bring huge digitalisation opportunities across a wide range of industries. 

Visibility in hybrid cloud could be the difference between prosperity and failure for enterprises

The current pandemic-induced economic downturn has led many to rapidly increase the speed at which they digitise their business — sequestering workforces in their homes and looking for ways to serve a customer base that is now concentrated within digital channels. For many brands a greater transition into the cloud has been a fundamental strategy underpinning this move. However, moving to the cloud still has its challenges for some organisations. New complexities in the IT environment can prevent IT teams from delivering the promised return on cloud investments. Monitoring and observability are now critical components to an effective hybrid cloud strategy.
