Reliable storage

Run complex AI algorithms on small,
low-power devices, analyze data, andmake real-time decisions.

Offer an optimized low-latency experienceand save money on cloud storage andbandwidth costs.

Reduce the risk of data breach by storingdata on local networks or edge devices
secured with encryption and firewalls.

1Performance

2Resilience3Security

Increase speed, accuracy and real-timedecision making through reducing latency
and minimizing unnecessary data transfer.

Deliver resilience through purpose-built
devices and applications that enable
redundancy, distributed processing andpredictive maintenance.

Enhance security through data
anonymization, data encryption, threat
detection, and local data processing that
reduces the volume of data transfers overthe cloud.

The benefits of computing at the edge:
Low latency
Brings processing data closer to the source and reduces the time it takes for data analysis andaction to improve the user experience.

Increased scalability
Scaling at the edge is more efficient as edge devices often cost less than scaling a centralized
data center.

Better network utilization
Improves the performance of existing networks by reducing the data sent to off-site locations.

Improved data security
Helps keep sensitive data within the network, reducing the risk of a data breach.

Cost savings
Reduces the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades, cloud storage, and data center facilities.
