EDGE COMPUTING
IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING A SEAMLESS TRANSITION FROM THE TRADITIONAL
WORKPLACE SETTING TO THE
FUTURE OF WORK .
Securing the Edge
An Edge strategy doesn ’ t mean data protection , security and compliance efforts have to be more complicated . Traditionally , endpoint backup has been the most underrated rack of technologies but as the benefits of Edge Computing gain traction , its use case takes on a whole new level . And the good news is that there isn ’ t much ‘ reinventing the wheel ’ involved .
Why ? The Edge isn ’ t entirely new – it ’ s an extension of what we ’ ve known . As an accelerant of Digital Transformation , it ’ s breaking down the data centre walls and pushing cloud capabilities outwards . Businesses need to remember that the Edge must be treated as part of hybrid cloud architecture , of which technologies are already being used by employees to provide a seamless and secure IT experience .
Edge Computing is critical to ensuring a seamless transition from the traditional workplace setting to the future of work . It is here now and it ’ s hybrid .
To realise its full potential , businesses must focus on the outcome rather than the implementation of the technology . ◊
