Which edge do you need: Managing multiple edges to deliver the next industrial revolution (sponsored by Verizon Digital Media Services)

Dave Andrews sheds light on how the edge landscape has beenand is stillevolving with a look at the new class of low-latency/high-bandwidth application domains and how Verizon Digital Media Services is helping to deliver this to its customers.

The edge of the internet is no longer fixed at traditional content delivery networks (CDNs). The architecture and technology of 5G networks are moving compute and storage closer to the end user, enabling a new class of low-latency/high-bandwidth application domains. Given the heterogeneity of the edge (e.g., Are you doing compute on devices, multiaccess edge computing (MEC), or the CDN edge or in the cloud; are the capabilities and interfaces of the different edges you’re using the same?), we risk creating a fragmented development ecosystem that can strain developers and introduce risk into systems. How do you harness the power of multiple edges and minimize the overhead and risk they introduce while creating a seamless multiedge experience? Dave Andrews walks you through some of the ideas that are informing Verizon Digital Media Services’ edge compute design, including multiedge scenarios on development and deployment, reliability and failover, and the importance of providing cohesive and intuitive solutions.
