INTELLIGENT EDGE
Where data is created and analysed for meaningful insights.
By analysing data and developing solutions at the site where the data is generated, intelligent edge reduces latency, costs, and security risks, thus making the associated business more efficient. The three major categories of intelligent edge are operational technology edges, Internet of Things edges, and information technology edges.
Why Intelligent Edge?
Using intelligent edge technology can help maximise a business’s efficiency. Instead of sending data out to a data centre or other third party, analysis is performed at the location the data is generated. Not only does this mean this analysis can be performed more quickly, but it also decreases the likelihood that the data will be intercepted or otherwise breached. Additionally, it means that businesses become much more self-contained and do not rely on potentially faulty network connections to do their work.
While upgrading to intelligent edge technology can pose significant upfront cost, the automatic analysis it performs stands to increase revenue and save money over the long term.
Here are the Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, technologies and solutions that lend themselves to creating an intelligent edge.
