What is the Intelligent Edge?
Intelligent Edge Explained
The Edge is where people, devices, and IoT connect to the network edge.
The Intelligent Edge harnesses modern IT infrastructure to transform this Edge activity and data into actionable insights to deliver better business outcomes, optimized operations, and enhanced products and experiences.
Why the Intelligent Edge
Expanding on the benefits of the mobile and cloud eras, the next big shift is the Era of Data and Insights where massive amounts of Edge data from users, devices, and IoT are gathered, analyzed, and actioned using AI and automation to deliver better business intelligence, operations, and results.
Traditionally, corporate networks connect employees to their data, applications, and services. Now, networks must manage and leverage the increased volume, velocity and variety of data, traffic, and sources – especially from IoT.
Instead of transmitting all data from billions of IoT devices and applications to a central data center or cloud, new business outcomes are coming from the combination of compute, storage, networking, and applications acting on data in real-time or near real-time at the edge while still maintaining secure and reliable connectivity to the cloud.
Modern infrastructure, security, analytics, and tools are critical to maximize performance and value from Edge networks.
How Aruba ESP powers the Intelligent Edge
Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform)is the industry’s first AI-powered, cloud-native platform to automate, unify, and protect the Edge. Aruba ESP provides an architecture that is:
