WEBINAR INVITATION
The Intelligent Edge
The next frontier of IoT Innovation
Thursday, January 25th, 2018
@ 9 AM PT I 12 PM ET I 6 PM CET I 60 minutes
Please join Momenta Partners for an engaging webinar that takes an in-depth look at the move away from the cloud towards edge computing.
With an exponential growth in number of connected things, each creating and consuming huge amounts of data, cloud computing is beginning to face significant challenges. Pushing large amounts of data out to the cloud and back requires massive bandwidth and significant energy expenditures while struggling to meet the need for real-time operational analytic.
Edge, mobile edge, and fog computing have emerged, offering a panacea to the pain points of IoT data. Companies such as Intel, SAP, Ericsson and Dell Technologies are creating their own solutions. Edge computing has the potential to impact the data infrastructure of the IoT, but what are the benefits and risks of moving away from the cloud? Edge computing comes with a suite of considerations that need to be carefully considered prior to adoption that we'll explore in turn.
Join Ed Maguire and Jim Fletcher along with special guest panelists for this informative event!
