When you first start to deploy edge workloads, everything will look simple enough: a few sites, some containers, and a stable network. But eventually, it’s time to scale. The number…
I have noticed a significant increase in pressure among our users to implement AI at the edge over the past couple of months. Applied AI is becoming mainstream, and some…
What Is a Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV)? A “software-defined vehicle” describes a car whose core functions and features are driven by software rather than hardware. It’s the continuation of the trend…
Operational Technology (OT) environments are undergoing a profound shift. For years, the dominant model of “edge” in OT and IoT was straightforward: collect data at the edge, forward it upstream,…
Authors: Carl Moberg and Amy Simonson During the five years of Avassa, we have had many hundreds of conversations on the broad topic of edge computing. Ranging from focused commercial…
Managing distributed infrastructure at the edge demands clarity on two foundational concepts: automation and orchestration. Automation handles individual, repeatable tasks without human input, while orchestration coordinates those tasks across multiple…
For more than a decade, the cloud promised to free enterprises from the complexity of managing their own infrastructure. And it delivered: elastic capacity, global reach, and faster innovation. But…
Executive Summary Zero-touch provisioning, often called ZTP, is an automated way to set up edge devices and applications without human intervention. It speeds up deployments, ensures consistency across sites, and…
Edge computing has reached a turning point. For years, the focus has been on building and managing infrastructure, provisioning hardware, configuring networks, and maintaining clusters at the edge. But the…
For several years, fog computing was promoted as a powerful bridge between the cloud and devices at the edge. It promised to reduce latency, make networks more efficient, and prepare…
