Getting Edgy

Explain IT

With the explosive growth of internet connected devices in our everyday world, from mobile phones to our cars and even our homes, we are generating massive amounts of data all the time. Traditional centralised infrastructures just can’t keep up with the pace of information. So how do we bring processing power closer to the source of this data to help us harness its insights? What is Edge Computing? What are the benefits of Edge Computing? What are the challenges with Edge computing and could customers use cloud instead of on-premise edge computing?

As ever we'll answer these questions and more in simple, jargon free language. This episode is hosted by Helen Gidney, Softcat’s head of Architecture and features expert guests Gary Hawkins, Softcat’s chief technologist Hybrid Platforms, and Luke Price, Partner Technical Specialist at IBM.

This podcast is released on the last Tuesday of every month. Alternatively, you can stream or download all episodes from every season on your preferred platform or at softcat.com.
