‘Edge-to-cloud’ refers to the action of connecting data held in on-prem networks to the cloud. Data held on-prem can be processed ‘at the edge’, or close to the source, ensuring maximum speed and efficiency, before being uploaded to the cloud for additional security and accessibility. HPE is a pioneer in edge-to-cloud innovation, followed closely by other global organisations such as IBM and Oracle. HPE is the first to combine its edge-to-cloud technology with a consumption-based pricing model.
