Scale Computing Platform brings simplicity, high availability and scalability together, replacing the existing infrastructure and providing high availability for running VMs in a single, easy-to-manage platform. Run your applications in a fully integrated platform. Regardless of your hardware requirements, the same innovative software and simple user interface give you the power to run infrastructure efficiently at the edge.

You’re constantly evaluating new technologies to accelerate your organization's success and the benefits they could bring. In tech decisions, you are often forced to respond reactively. Emergency arises. Solution assessed. Solution implemented.

Instead of looking in, take a look at where business is done - at the edge. Edge computing captures and facilitates all of that and moves the business world forward at a never-before-seen pace.

The ever-expanding expectations of our digital world demand that more applications run outside the cloud or data center, close to where they are used by people, devices, and IoT technologies. But managing the sprawl of complex infrastructure to run applications locally in geographically distributed locations is an escalating burden on IT departments. If you need to run applications outside the data center and cloud but with cloud-like simplicity and performance or want to know how automation can help, join this session to learn how running applications at the edge is easier than you think.

Mitch Etchason, Product Manager at Scale Computing, discusses optimizing IT infrastructure at the edge to help you think about where you are today, and where you could be tomorrow.

Expanding to the Edge: Next-Generation IT Infrastructure

Organizations need application portability for flexible development and deployment strategies that can keep up with today’s increasingly unpredictable environments, from natural disasters to rapid ransomware attacks. Organizations that have adopted cloud-native strategies often have an easier time moving applications compared to traditional applications. However, increasing data complexity can still strain network and infrastructure capabilities, causing some organizations to also turn to edge computing in order to ease bandwidth and latency issues.

Any data management strategy needs to be carefully planned by skilled workers, yet many organizations don’t have the expertise available to manually manage cloud and edge locations. Limited IT staff, increasing data latency, data compliance regulations, and budgeting can all delay transformation. For professionals looking to reduce strain on IT teams, join host Paul Nashawaty and guests from Scale Computing and Intel as they discuss cloud and edge solutions to achieve application portability as well as:

- How to reduce costs and data complexity with your current IT team through automation
- How to utilize edge computing to address common data management concerns and needs
- Learn how Intel and Scale Computing deliver a unified infrastructure platform to run applications and process data on-premises

IT Teams Need a Break: Automating Edge

Organizations can avoid traditional data center pitfalls such as bandwidth limitations and
network disruptions through cloud migration and edge computing. However, ongoing data
center growth can lead to latency and increasing costs as organizations move away from
core data centers to alternative, smaller locations. As organizations process increasing
amounts of data, they not only need to consider data storage solutions but secure their IT
infrastructure against ongoing storage growth.

While organizations can scale and manage data storage through cloud and edge computing,
there are other infrastructure challenges organizations must address, from limited IT staff to
securing decentralized data. Join senior ESG analyst Paul Nashawaty and Craig Theriac,
VP of Product Management at Scale Computing as they discuss data storage and
management through the adoption of edge and cloud infrastructure, as well as:

- How organizations are utilizing their hybrid cloud application delivery systems
- Addressing low latency as well as potential connectivity and outages in infrastructure
- How Scale computing can streamline the hybrid cloud adoption process from the
data center to edge to cloud

Run Applications Anywhere with Cloud-Like Simplicity and Performance

Modern application environments have been transformed thanks to containers, Kubernetes, and low-code solutions. Even as these services expand their reach, IT pros and decision makers are still figuring out how to think through these constructs. And those that have implemented them are working through integrating them into workflows. 

At the same time, new hyperconvergence, data protection, disaster recovery, and flash storage solutions have taken center stage in the datacenter which provide the optimal platforms to deploy these modern applications. It only makes sense that modern applications deserve modern infrastructure and storage for optimal performance and availability.

Enabling Modern Applications at the Edge

Digital transformation is expanding the need for automation and advanced technology applications beyond the four walls of the legacy datacenter. This strategic business focus is driving the market of edge computing as the implementation and success of new technologies create competitive differentiation across industry verticals.
