Decentralising Digital Infrastructure: Enabling Digital Transformation Through Edge Data Centers

By: Vartul Mittal, Technology & Innovation Specialist Due to societal trends, technology trends, or market trends, the demand for agility, speed, and localised computing is quickly rising in this digital era. The centralised data centers can be considered very useful as they are reliable, however, the concept of real-time processing has risen to such levels that the traditional methods are found inadequate. As organisations take their first step towards digital change, the use of edge data centers in the decentralisation of digital infrastructure proves to be an essential feature in this development.

This enables data to be processed in the exact location […]
