Edge Computing Services – Compute and Network Architecture
Why the need for Edge Computing Network Architecture?
The introduction of Edge Computing into an organisation’s mainstream IT operation is being fuelled by the rate of digital adoption by consumers post pandemic. Our insatiable appetite for real time information is driving a new and emerging requirement for organisations to rethink their IT strategy to include the ability to process information at the edge and closer to their consumers.
Information and the speed in which it is gathered, processed and repurposed has become the new commodity as has our ability to use information in real time to make decisions on the move. To be able to transact anywhere has been dubbed “the 4th industrial revolution”.
Colocation and cloud service providers like Vissensa play an important role in the delivery of edge computing network architecture as the need for a physical presence and a wide choice of network connectivity options in the edge location is key to maximising the opportunity to be agile enough to deliver the services that consumers are expecting.
Edge computing can be deployed with a client’s own physical infrastructure in a typical colocation model. Or the equipment can be rented as in a Managed Services model which includes the use and connectivity to the public cloud networks that are focused on providing geographic cloud hubs to service major commercial centres.
Regardless of your preferred model, Vissensa has the expertise and partner capabilities with leading datacentre and network providers to design, implement and manage your edge computing requirement anywhere in the world.
Managed Edge Computing Network Architecture
As an organisation’s network expands to encompass edge computing requirements the network becomes an ever more critical component in the infrastructure at the same time as becoming ever more complex to deploy, manage and protect.
Having an experienced partner that fully understands every aspect of operating edge computing network architecture can be a pivotal decision as it can accelerate the time to edge services whilst relieving pressures for existing IT teams. You need a partner who understands how to interact with legacy and cloud services, knows Managed Colocation services and has the ability to enable connectivity that flows through it all. Within the industry, Vissensa is known for its expertise in all of these components of edge computing architecture.
The complexities and options of how the Edge computing topology is designed also has a bearing on the level of security that can be engineered. SASE (Security Access Service Edge) products and services from Vissensa can ensure that as your network endpoints and consumer access increase, the right adjustments to your organisation’s security stance can be delivered.
Edge Computing Bandwidth
Core to any successful deployment of an edge computing network architecture is the availability of fast reliable network services that can connect the cloud services you need together quickly.
Vissensa understands that flexibility is important when developing an edge computing service and is partnered with leading data centre and network vendors to provide bundled options of cloud, colo and network services that can be ignited quickly to provide organisations with pre-configured network connectivity between different metros.
Whether it is internet transits, direct connectivity between datacentres or the utilisation of express routes to public cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, Vissensa can optimise the best configuration to provide commercially attractive bundles.
