There might be millions of companies using the cloud, but there are millions of locations with no cloud infrastructure. Welcome to the Edge.

As organizations consider edge, on-premise and prefabricated modular data center solutions for their business after years of focusing on cloud migration and services, it's time to reconsider operational, physical and data security, management and maintenance aspects of refocusing data center capacity across your business.

Takeaway

• Understand your edge strategy —is it production ready or a gateway to the cloud?
• Meshed topology might be a consideration, but is it really available?
• Why edge should be part of your energy security strategy
• How resilience can be delivered through prefabricated modular solutions
• Data center management didn't go away — which options should you consider?
• Security is more than locked doors — what else must be considered?
