Keynote Presentation: Edge in the Hyper-Distributed Modern Enterprise Applications Era

Modern enterprise requires ubiquitous application distribution in a hybrid multicloud environment, from customer premises to edge and both private and public clouds. A “Deploy and Connect” strategy for Edge workloads is the answer. With security, reduced complexity, and Edge application lifecycle management offered through a “Deploy and Connect” strategy, MEC, IoT, Industry 4.0 applications are covered on Network/Metro Edge locations and on-premise Far Edge locations. In this joint session, IBM’s Vice President and CTO IBM Edge Computing, Rob High, will present how IBM Edge workloads deployment and application lifecycle management capabilities are enhancing worker experience with AI-analytics and augmenting human productivity at scale and with cost efficiency.  We’ll also explore connectivity to other Edge workloads and private, public clouds for end-to-end distributed application connectivity with network as well as infrastructure and application observability.

Presentation: Deliver edge and IoT apps that work anywhere all the time, even without internet!

Apps that run at the edge must be fast and reliable at all times, especially those operating in remote locations such as deep wilderness, underground, at sea, or in the air. A fundamental challenge in meeting these requirements remains the network; no matter the coverage, reliability or speed it provides, it will inevitably suffer latency and outages that bring down the applications that rely on it. The only way to guarantee uptime and low-latency is to bring data storage and processing to the edge, eliminating dependencies on distant cloud data centers and the internet. In this session you will learn about the importance of having a cloud-native, edge-ready database for powering always fast, always on edge and IoT apps.
