Scaling Edge Infrastructure and Applications with Automation

IoT devices and other smart, connected equipment have increased the amount of data being created outside of traditional data center environments. As businesses look to leverage this data to make smarter, more accurate decisions, edge computing has emerged as a new paradigm to deploy infrastructure and applications in the field. However, this shift has created new challenges for IT in terms of managing, securing, and scaling these remote systems. Leveraging automation at the edge is paramount to help organizations connect devices, applications, and data in order to discover, decide, and take action. Join speakers from IDC, Red Hat, and Insight to learn: how edge computing combined with investments in data center and cloud is driving new business value; strategies for edge automation to meet security and scalability requirements; industry examples of how manufacturing and retail organizations are achieving success with edge computing and how successful partner ecosystem collaboration is driving innovations at the edge. Speakers: Kelly Switt: Red Hat Global Senior Director, Edge and AI Sales Development; Carm Taglienti, Insight Distinguished Engineer and Portfolio Director; and Dave McCarthy, IDC Analyst
