RESEARCH PAPER: Accelerating Data Insights And Actions Across The Enterprise

By Matt Kimball, Patrick Moorhead - November 27, 2018

Edge computing is one of the newest trends driving excitement in the industry, but there is significance and depth to it unlike other trends. Edge computing offers greater operational efficiency through the promise of real-time insight and action to organizations of all sizes and types. To achieve greater operational efficiency, organizations should look to adopt an edge deployment where Operational Technologies (OT) are physically integrated into the same edge Information Technology (IT) systems. Organizations can then leverage the power of the advanced analytics platforms and methods that emerged in IT organizations. This provides not only new levels of insight, but also control and action using platforms with functional, physical, and virtual convergence. Click on the logo to download the paper:
