3 options to use Kubernetes and containers for edge computing

By on • ( Leave a comment )

As organizations pursue the idea of running containers in edge computing environments, they’ll look to extend their Kubernetes deployments outside the data center. Many enterprises have different views of edge computing, but few rule out the possibility they’ll deploy application components to the edge in the future, particularly for IoT and other low-latency applications and Kubernetes as the ideal mechanism to run containers in edge computing environments — particularly those who have already adopted the container orchestration system for their cloud and data center needs.

UC Berkeley, NTT partner on smart campus pilot project

UC Berkeley and NTT  announced a connected campus pilot project that will leverage technology to “smartly” transform the UC Berkeley Parking and Transportation Department by analyzing use patterns, easing traffic congestion, and increasing pedestrian safety in the Bancroft Way area of campus. The pilot will incorporate NTT’s Accelerate Smart data platform and Dell Technologies’ modular data center infrastructure for edge deployments of high-definition optical sensors and IoT devices that monitor traffic-related issues.

Scaling enterprise IoT solutions using edge computing and the cloud

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Just a few years ago, many expected all the Internet of Things (IoT) to move to the cloud—and much of the consumer-connected IoT indeed lives there—but one of the key basics of designing and building enterprise-scale IoT solutions is to make a balanced use of edge and cloud computing. Most IoT solutions now require a mix of cloud and edge computing which can alleviate latency, increase scalability, and enhance access to information so that better, faster decisions can be made, and enterprises can become more agile as a result.

TIA launches series of briefing papers on Edge Data Centers

TIA has released a series of new informational briefing papers from its Edge Data Center Working Group. The papers are a first step towards creating an industry-driven framework for future standards development. Each paper outlines a different focus area for new Edge Data Center implementations including site selection and survivability, to security, thermal management, and operations and maintenance.
