Edge computing is not new.
Businesses across diverse industries have been collecting data and deploying IT outside of traditional data centers for many years. But how many of them are satisfied with the value they are deriving at the edge? And how many are truly ready for the data wave that is coming—driven by trends such as 5G, smart devices, internet of things (IoT) and high-speed connectivity?
Dell Technologies defines the ‘edge’ as where data is acted on near the point of creation to create immediate, essential value. Industry analysts predict that more than 50% of new IT infrastructure will be deployed at the edge by 2023. And the number of new operational processes deployed on edge infrastructure will grow from less than 20% today to over 90% by 2024.

The value of edge initiatives can provide for organizations is to drive real-time actionable insights that achieve business outcomes. Ultimately, these benefits will provide long-term strategic advantage & competitive advantages such as:
◉ Operational efficiencies
◉ Enhanced experiences
◉ Revenue generation
◉ Safety
◉ Sustainability
Most agree that edge computing needs to be an essential element of the data-driven enterprise. And for many organizations, the potential of data at the edge remains yet untapped, invisible and unused. The sheer volume of data and ability to make sense of the data to arrive at actionable insights in real-time is a challenge in itself. Add the complexity that can arise from deploying, managing and supporting the proliferation of infrastructure, and you can see why organizations need to take a new approach to edge computing.
Simplify your edge
Dell Technologies is committed to helping you simplify your edge. We do this in three ways:
◉ Consolidating and streamlining data management and operations as you expand. Expansion often comes at the price of simplicity and efficiency. Years of legacy IT contribute to sprawl, silos and complexity. Delivering value at the edge will require the ability to consolidate and simplify IT and operational technology (OT), freeing you to scale capabilities exponentially.
◉ Securing the operational environment at the edge. Compromise is unthinkable anywhere, and cybercriminals are everywhere. Edge deployments need to be first-class citizens when it comes to security and compliance. They need to have the same rigorous security features as that of infrastructure inside a traditional datacenter.
◉ Overcoming environmental and latency constraints. You need to ensure that the infrastructure deployed at the edge can withstand not only the physical environment but also the performance and latency requirements at the edge. This includes everything from the server and networking equipment in closets and on factory floors to the laptops, tablets and PCs in your teams’ hands.
Reliable, integrated, and secure edge solutions
We help customers strategically approach their overall edge strategy to assess their environment and create a plan so they can start generating business-driving insights faster with reliable, integrated and secure edge solutions. We are adding a variety of new products and solutions to our already extensive portfolio of edge solutions to help you capitalize on time-critical edge data.
IT built for the edge
Dell Technologies can help you get richer insights faster as you overcome environmental constraints at the edge, with devices and infrastructure designed to stand up to edge environments.
