In recent years , the trend that prevailed for decades which led to centralizing as much technology as possible was reversed . Incremental improvements in telecommunications promoted by the rise of 5G in society and the appearance of new sources of information came together with a hyper-connected world and the IoT .
new paradigms and architectures , also due to significant challenges in terms of security and the difficulty of giving consistency to all the elements of the chain .
These advances allow applications , services and ultimately , much of the world ’ s technology and computing to get closer to the point where things happen : The origin of data . This evolution takes us to the keyword that drives the competitive and voracious world we live in today : immediacy .
Now , organizations can extract value from information and make decisions in real-time , improving and digitizing their processes , creating new lines of business , or simply taking technology to where it could not go .
It will be vital to seek simplicity with the consumption of end-to-end solutions and integrated and packaged platforms to make easier deployments and operations . It is necessary to guarantee all its integrity , security and
The Edge plays a critical role in leveraging new data sources to drive specific and differentiated business outcomes .
The opportunity is vast . Virtually any industry and any market will tackle projects within the framework of Edge Computing in one way or another . The concept of Edge Computing , whatever the breadth we want to give it , is not an isolated element but a fully integrated part within the technological ecosystem of an organization .
Edge Computing is an extension of the multi-cloud world that defines the technological map of each company . This is because Edge Computing is not just a place . Beyond where the information is generated , collected and processed , the subsequent transformation phase allows for extracting value from it .
How to implement it ?
The new reality will imply a new model for different organizations that will face the complexity posed by availability elements . This activity is complex in a space with increasing computing points and information sources . Also it is challenging to maintain standards in infrastructure , processes and control plans .
The market is moving in this direction . One of the clearest exponents in Edge Computing is the telecommunications sector with the consolidation of the OpenRAN model .
In the meantime , organizations will need technology partners to travel this path with guarantees with a portfolio and a strategy capable of covering and simplifying the ecosystem . All industries are experiencing a Digital Transformation . The Edge plays a critical role in leveraging new data sources to drive specific and differentiated business outcomes .
