Keynote: Edge Computing – What Customers are Doing Today and Will Be Doing Tomorrow
Edge Computing allows IT leaders to run mission-critical applications and infrastructure outside the four walls of the datacenter. Edge deployments need a high degree of automation and low touch IT management, and must be cost effective with a measurable Return on Investment (ROI).
It is predicted that by 2025, three-quarters of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed at the edge – outside a traditional centralized data center or cloud (up from just 10% in 2018). Will you be ready to take advantage of the benefits edge computing offers?
In this session attendees will learn:
- Use cases of how IT leaders in all industries are using edge computing to meet their business needs
- Which kind of infrastructure platform is needed to be successful?
- How to reduce management costs by 60%-80% with self-healing automation and intelligence

Edge computing represents a great opportunity for many participants in the tech ecosystem, but they cannot do everything alone. Cloud companies are teaming up with telecom providers to combine infrastructure strength with network capability – and the race is on to get developers building applications which make the most of 5G and AI, enabled by edge technologies.
- Defining edge as a value proposition for cloud and telecoms
- Exploring the partnerships already taking place
- Using AI to improve performance of edge devices
- What applications will result from this, and who will ultimately win the race?
