Simple colo services are making way for a hybrid mix of cloud models and platforms, and providers need to adapt to new security threats
Edge applications need new levels of network support. Can our existing content delivery networks provide that, or do we need a new approach?
What if you only need a data center for a few days or weeks? The big players have you covered
Investors want to spend money on the Edge - but first they need to see it work
Banning Huawei from mobile infrastructure might cripple the Edge rollout - unless governments can give real support to the open alternatives
Edge data centers can’t rely on regular visitors. They may have to become robotic
While the hyperscalers have the scale and technical nous, deploying AI en masse is still an ongoing effort for most data center operators
Don’t prescribe every sector with the same course of treatment
A combination of satellites and Lunar base stations will form the digital infrastructure of the Moon
The Edge will rely on 5G and other radio communications which can be expensive and proprietary. OpenRAN might change that, but it’s still being finished
Edge applications aren’t the same as cloud ones, so they don’t need the same hardware
Artificial intelligence is driving massive change for retailers, especially in-store
What’s the most remote IT system in everyday use right now? The Perseverance rover on Mars
Lack of adherence to ‘space norms’ could increase risk of in-orbit incidents
If you want your data center to be reliable, you may need to use grease
NASA’s moon-based LunaNet will be one step towards bringing the Internet to the rest of the solar system
The rise of online retail and the Covid-19 pandemic are driving store closures, so retailers need to get smarter about how they use technology at the Edge.
Forget 5G, the IoT, and micro data centers at cell towers (for now) - DartPoints CEO Scott Willis says the Edge opportunity is small facilities in Tier 3 cities
Cashierless shopping requires tons of cameras, and even more compute to track it all
Like the paperless office, the lights-out data center has proven elusive
Keeping 5G infrastructure running 24x7 will require new approaches to remote management and maintenance
5G is power hungry - but telecoms operators may have some answers to keep it supplied with energy
DCD exclusive: Microsoft’s underwater data center experiment employed wave energy and post-quantum cryptography on the seabed off Scotland. But the big lessons could be learnt on land
