Edge Innovations & Solutions

Coming soon…

Edge Computing allows IT leaders to run mission-critical applications and infrastructure outside the four walls of the datacenter. Edge deployments need a high degree of automation and low touch IT management, and must be cost effective with a measurable Return on Investment (ROI).

It is predicted that by 2025, three-quarters of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed at the edge – outside a traditional centralized data center or cloud (up from just 10% in 2018). Will you be ready to take advantage of the benefits edge computing offers?

In this session attendees will learn:

• Use cases of how IT leaders in all industries are using Edge computing to meet their business needs.
• Which kind of infrastructure platform is needed to be successful?
• How to reduce management costs by 60%-80% with self-healing automation and intelligence.
• Why Edge computing is a necessary complement to IoT and AI.
• Innovative use cases for Edge computing.

• Perspectives on the Edge landscape right now.
• What questions still need to be answered about the efficacy of this technology?
• Use cases and demos of how Edge is impacting our clients.
• Future roadmap toward widespread adoption of intelligent Edge.

It’s all happening at the Edge. The explosion of data, the increase in speeds with 5G, the need for enterprises to deliver intelligent and immersive experiences to delight their customers. 30% of the workloads are projected to be deployed at the Edge by FY2025 at a rate faster than public cloud adoption.

This presentation will showcase VMware’s Edge Compute Stack as a single integrated stack that supports:

• Edge Native Apps built on VMs or Containers or Web Assembly that leverage multi-cloud services
• Running Standard Server OS, Mobile OS, or Real-Time OS
• For IT and OT to deliver intelligent real-time solutions
• Delivered consistently to the far edge enterprise sites and near-edge Telcos and PoPs
• Deployed securely across both wired and wireless (4G and 5G) networks

The Edge will be as exciting an area of innovation and value creation in the next decade as the cloud was in the last decade.

• Enhancing predictive maintenance and industrial inspection via the Edge.
• Setting up precision monitoring and control with Edge.
• The emergence of Manufacturing as a Service.

• How to integrate Edge capabilities into the enterprise – a look at best practices.   
• Accessibility and flexibility – the ability to utilise Edge to meet your needs.    

The evolution of Edge, IoT and 5G has seen the boundaries of technology expand to create the biggest innovation platform ever. With use cases for digitalization creating opportunities across all sectors, technology is driving the world into a new direction and towards a future we’ve all imagined: where factories are more productive; where workers are safer; and where we leave a more sustainable footprint on our world. Join IBM’s Rob High and the new creators of today who are using the convergence of AI, wireless connectivity, and edge computing to lead innovation, define a generation, and fulfil future ideals once unimaginable.

• Key takeaways attendees will gain from this session: 
  • How industry 4.0 is coming to life with the convergence of robotics, AI, edge computing and 5G.
  • How network agility and flexibility unlock edge innovation across all sectors.
  • What are the real benefits of companies using edge computing today?

We know that the edge is a new way to optimize, but the challenge of migrating applications and data closer to customers still seems daunting. In this case study, we demonstrated a faster, easier, and cheaper way to distribute to the edge. By using a distributed application and data platform, a leader in connected device ecosystems was able to:

• Increase API call speed by 250X, from 5 seconds to 10 milliseconds.
• Reduce the number of API calls by 99%.
• Improve competitive advantage by being able to control and customize the user experience in real time.

• Why AI and machine learning are increasingly being implemented at the edge.
• Growing popularity of swarm computing at the edge.
• Best practices in implementation.
• Creating personalised experiences with edge-powered artificial intelligence.
• Discussion of specific (real world) use cases for edge AI and swarm computing.

Edge Computing is transforming every industry. It is enabling new business models, creating ecosystems and bringing closer modern digital experiences apps to end-users. At the heart of this wave of change is a next generation of apps powered by Kubernetes, the new de facto multi-environment infrastructure block. In this session, Saad Malik, Spectro Cloud Co-founder and CTO will…

• Cover the state of play in this new technology landscape and what modern Kubernetes at the edge should look like to provide real business value, using real examples of organizations scaling to 1000s of locations.
• How Containers and Kubernetes will be at the heart of this wave of change.
• The challenges in deploying cloud native apps at the edge.
• How a low-touch, plug-n-play edge K8s approach is possible to enable scale to thousands of locations.

• Multi-layer Edge system overview
• Drone ground support infrastructure
• How Edge Computing helps in high scale drone fleet deployments
• Trustworthiness in drone networks
