“The ‘do anything from anywhere’ economy requires a highly complex IT system, capable of managing the exponential data that it generates. Emerging technologies like Edge computing, 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are accelerating both the discovery of insights from data and the digitization of key business processes. In the modern era of Edge Computing, compute platforms at the Edge will provide lightweight designs that can be successfully deployed despite spatial, environmental, power, and connectivity constraints. These designs can be secured and can support applications that require insights in real time, enabling businesses to provide enhanced experiences to their customers. 5G implementation is also playing a vital role in edge data center investments in India, and in 2022 we expect to see consumption-based models, edge computing, and a multi-cloud environments flourish. As IT infrastructure becomes more distributed, Dell’s focus will remain on simplifying and modernizing, while reducing infrastructure costs. As digital transformation continues across industries, modern data management is set to change. We anticipate that the entire data management ecosystem will develop and utilize edge IT capacity at the ingress and egress of their data pipelines, and remotely process and digest data on the edge.”
