Doorbells, thermostats, TVs, washing machines, cars, watches and the list goes on – the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving data production and usage, as well as application sharing by users at the “digital edge.” To provide better user experience and limit exposure, the modern network is evolving to rely heavily on edge computing – the use of microscale, remote site or branch data centers that are decentralized and closer to the user.
These dispersed sites bring many benefits, but along with that comes the need for visibility at each site – solutions that either operate as turnkey solutions within locations that have monitoring tools or for sites where data is aggregated and sent to centralized data centers for security and monitoring.
