Edge (and Beyond) Industry Update

How do Edge and Compute and SaaS and cloud influence everything that we do? We covered topics from VMware explorer and talked a lot about Edge. That led to AI ml, which led to another topic, which led to another topic.

If you enjoy hearing about how interconnected our technology and choices are, everything from Bitcoin to edge, and cloud and government interaction, this is the podcast for you because we cover pretty much all of it and connect it together.

Remember that on September 14, we are having one of our quarterly book club meetings on the death of expertise.

Rob’s Hot Take:

In the Cloud 2030 podcast episode from August 24th, CEO Rob Hirschfeld discusses the shift from the rental/service economy to owning production assets in the context of cloud and SaaS models. He highlights the financial commitment and decoupling of capital expenses associated with service usage, emphasizing the value of owning assets in certain scenarios. Hirschfeld encourages deliberate decision-making regarding asset ownership, stressing the importance of understanding the long-term consequences and skill-building for businesses. He invites listeners to explore these topics further in the complete August 24th Cloud 2030 conversation.

Edge Networking: Facebook, BGP and 5G

Edge networking is hard! Because before we can talk about edge networking, we actually have to talk about edge management and edge control, and what it takes to build resilient infrastructure and train people to use it.

In the first half, we’re talking about the challenges of managing infrastructure, using the Facebook outage of the week we recorded as a starting point for how challenging it is to build resilient infrastructure.

In the second, we talk about edge networking with solid insights about how challenging edge networking really is not just creating networks in edge locations, but what does it take to sustain an edge network and the integration and technologies over the course of multiple technology generations?

Rob’s Hot Take:

Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and co-founder of RackN and host of the Cloud 2030 Podcast, reflects on the October 5th discussion about edge networking, highlighting the conversation’s focus on the long lifecycle expectancy of edge technologies and the challenges associated with their maintenance and evolution. He emphasizes the need to address these critical topics in edge networking discussions, inviting listeners to explore the in-depth conversation at the2030.cloud.

Your next DC… Edge or Cloud?

Cloud versus Edge? This panel dove into what makes edge different than cloud.

There are a lot of different technical and commercial drivers. And fundamentally, it matters who owns the sources of data and how data sources are different. This underscores how it is critical to understand data sources, infrastructure ownership, and how everything fits together.

This discussion will change to you rethink what makes Edge different than Cloud.

Designing for 5G and Digital Twins

We talked about 5G, factories and edge infrastructure.

They are very interconnected because they live at the network edge and are sensitive to how we need to route traffic.

This is important as the basis for using digital twinning as a new user experience (UI/UX) around interacting with systems. This new approach is starting to emerge and it will be very network intensive, visually oriented, and involve overlaying the physical world with the virtual world.

How the heck are we going to connect all these things together?
