HPE Greenlake Compute

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Compute power is moving closer to where the action is. After years of becoming increasingly concentrated at centralized locations – in data centers or in the cloud – it’s moving to the geographically dispersed locations where data is generated. It’s moving to factories, branch offices, oil rigs, cargo bays, maintenance facilities … anywhere there’s a need to rapidly convert data into insight and action. In short, it’s moving to the Edge.

 

Everyone Is Crazy About the Edge

Edge computing is helping businesses accelerate cycle times between harvesting data and acting on it. If you’re running safety-related telemetry on equipment on an oil rig, for example, you can’t afford the latency involved in relaying that data to the cloud or a datacenter. You want actionable information in real-time or near-real-time.

Edge infrastructure is also helping companies to cut costs by reducing bandwidth needs. Let’s say you need to analyze massive amounts of data from a video surveillance system. It makes sense to do that at a point as close as possible to the data source, bypassing the potentially prohibitive costs of connectivity to a central processing facility, and minimizing the attack surface for security threats at the same time.

Designing and standing up the infrastructure for an Edge solution will require an understanding of the highly complex Internet of Things product environment to capitalize on IoT-enabled benefits. By its nature, the Edge pushes compute infrastructure into new environments where expertise may not be available to monitor and manage it, or to intervene if something goes wrong.
