Mexico City. Faced with an increasingly digitized environment, immediacy, security and network experience are imperative, and at the same time the efficiency of business processes, as is the case with edge computing, classified as one of the three most important technologies in 2021, as shared in Seguritech Privada.
According to Ariel Picker, CEO of the Mexican company, edge computing is a term used to describe a type of decentralized IT infrastructure, which occurs in the physical location of the user, the data source or close to them.
“Today, within the business environment, this technology is also seen as a solution to the challenges of cybersecurity and system resilience,” details the Mexican manager.
However, he acknowledges that according to a survey carried out by IT Masters Mag in Mexico to the 30 main IT leaders, it showed that 82% are not yet immersed in edge computing technology, mainly because they have not defined how to use it.
In general terms, explains the CEO of Seguritech Privada, this technology allows the provision of more stable services, at higher speed and at a lower cost, which in theory looks like higher profit margins for companies, as well as faster network experiences and uniforms.
There are coincidences between the main providers of this technology, which dictate that edge computing is also the best alternative for making the right decisions.
“Being so close to the same place where the information is generated, it allows greater speed in the transmission and analysis of data, which can be highly effective for various industries, from manufacturing, to automotive, energy, retail, etc.”.
Ariel Picker also recognizes that this technology allows lower bandwidth utilization and reduces latency to a minimum; It also lowers network costs, reduces transmission delays, limits the number of service errors, better controls the transfer of sensitive data, and integrates Big Data analytics into the premise.
Edge computing applied to security
Edge computing can be seen as a strategy to bring a consistent environment from the main data center to physical locations close to users and data, but what does this mean? In Seguritech Privada they exemplify it with the issue of security.
According to the CEO of the Mexican company, this technology can contribute to the success of intelligent applications that use a lot of data, for example, high-definition video that uses a lot of space and bandwidth, taken from CCTV, drones or robots.
“It is more efficient for systems to process and detect anomalies without uploading information to the cloud; to then only alert the response teams and send only the most relevant information to the server” points out Ariel Picker.
And like this example, there may be a specific one for each industry, where business interactions benefit, as well as customer experience, preventive maintenance, fraud prevention, among others, he assures.
