Segmentation Is A Key Edge Building Block With Mako Networks (34 m)
Gestalt IT, Thursday, July 6,2023
Edge computing architectures are increasingly mirroring the paradigms that became popular in the era of cloud computing. This is good news for application builders.
While similar in many ways, edge environments are also very different from their cloud counterparts. They often face far more constraints, such as the lack of on-site technical staff, challenging environmental factors like hot temperatures or poor physical security, and unreliable network connections.
Discussions on edge tend to focus only on applications, their scheduling and orchestration, and the underlying compute infrastructures that enable them. Seldom do they talk about the local network that enables this infrastructure.
