Getting started with Edge AI: Step-by-step
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…
Automotive Edge Computing Explained: From SDVs to Dealership Edge Sites
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…
Buyer’s guide: Choosing the Right Edge Platform for OT Environments
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,…
Top 5 Most Common Confusions From Our First 5 Years in Edge Computing
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…
Automation vs Orchestration: What’s the Difference in Edge Computing?
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…
From Edge to Cloud: How Unified Infrastructure Simplifies Distributed IT
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…
Zero-Touch Provisioning: Simplifying Deployment at the Edge
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…
The Shift from Infrastructure First to Application First in Edge Computing
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…
What Happened to Fog Computing? Fog vs. Edge Explained
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…
Setting the Stage for a Successful Edge Computing Pilot
A large-scale edge computing initiative typically starts with a pilot. A well-planned and closely evaluated pilot paves way for an efficient, frictionless, and robust wider roll-out across all of your…
