Why IT Belongs at the Edge
Traditionally, edge computing has largely been the responsibility of operational technology (OT) teams. But as edge deployments increase in number and size and become essential parts of the technology landscape, IT teams are under growing pressure to help manage infrastructure across remote locations.
These changes are not just about Internet of Things (IoT) devices, telecom and industrial deployments, and distributed software — compliance with data localization, privacy, resilience and latency requirements are adding to their heavy plates.
To handle these changes, IT teams are being called to adapt their traditional data center skills to support resilience and accurate data management across widely distributed environments.
Integration, Collaboration and Kubernetes
Handling all of this complexity requires close collaboration between OT and IT teams, which have largely been separate technical domains. And many organizations are also discovering that integrating their existing virtual machines (VMs) and modern Kubernetes-based containers enables them to extend their cloud native capabilities to edge environments.
They are also leveraging their IT and OT teams’ experience and skills to build a modern, resilient infrastructure — allowing IT to deploy software at scale and OT teams to run their applications without interruption.
If you’re an IT leader, engineer or anyone else looking to optimize your edge computing infrastructure with cutting-edge tools and practices, join us on May 6 at 1 p.m. ET | 10 a.m. PT for a special online event, Virtual Machines and Containers: Better Together.
During this free webinar, Valerie Schneider and Rudy de Anda from Stratus, and TNS Host Chris Pirillo will explore how to overcome edge computing challenges associated with connectivity issues, limited onsite IT capabilities and the need for security and scalability.
Not only will you learn how the combination of VMs, containers and a Kubernetes management solution provides a comprehensive, low-maintenance edge computing framework, by attending the live webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to ask and get practical answers to your questions.
