Investing in Edge Computing to Squeeze Even More Value Out of the Cloud | Research

Event Overview

Cloud has been at the forefront of enterprise digital transformation over the last several years, but the massive amounts of data coming in and out of the cloud — combined with the growing number of connected devices needed to do business — is starting to lead to slowness and timeout of applications. What can we do to fix this? This is where cloud edge hybrid solutions come in. Join WWT Senior Solutions Consultant Jennifer Adefala and Distinguished Solutions Architect Curt Stalhood as they discuss edge computing's role in unlocking even more value out of the cloud. Jennifer and Curt also talk about the complexities involved with optimizing the cloud to take immediate advantage of solutions like edge and practical steps organizations can take to put cloud edge into action.
