Edge isn’t a location. It’s a new way to deliver apps through a combination of distributed compute, high-performance network, automated security and open orchestration for latency-sensitive, bandwidth-intensive applications like IoT, ML, AI and streaming analytics. It goes wherever your data or customers need it, and it’s enabling massive change on industries at every level of society.
IT pros are turning to cloud edge for faster compute because traditional clouds aren’t close enough to support today's latency-sensitive data and data-intensive apps.
