Session description:

Making the Edge the Ultimate Multiplier for Innovation: Delivering Infrastructure at the Edge, Richard Villars, Research Vice President, Datacenter and Cloud

Success in digital transformation requires new thinking about the consumption of IT resources in increasingly "smart" edge locations. These are the urban cores, hospitals, factories, transportation hubs, and a wide range of spaces where local people or "smart" things demand an optimal digital experience. They are where IT, operational technology, and customer experience intersect.

At this service delivery edge, physical compute, storage, and network hardware may be owned/operated by a technology service provider or a supplier, but those assets as well as the applications and data running on them will reside in the customer's datacenters, other customer facilities, or nearby colocation spaces leased by the customer. In this session, Rick Villars will discuss the strategies and challenges that IT organizations and their technology partners must address as they extend new services to edge locations where real-time insight/action, continuous operation despite network degradations, and data privacy/control are paramount.
