Delegates Reflect on Edge Computing at Edge Field Day 1

Event: Edge Field Day 1

Appearance: Edge Field Day Delegate Roundtable

Company: Tech Field Day

Video Links:

Personnel: Alastair Cooke, Ben Young, Brian Chambers, Carl Fugate, Josh Warcop, Mark Houtz, Stephen Foskett

This roundtable discussion gives the Edge Field Day delegates time to reflect on the topics and themes presented at the event. Considering the overall themes of the event, the delegates highlighted questions of security, zero-touch provisioning, scalability, and automation. Another key perspective is that there are many vendors and products serving many different buyers in different environments, making edge computing especially complex. The delegates also contrast edge with cloud and datacenter infrastructure and tools, and the usefulness of technologies like Kubernetes and remote management at the edge. Looking to the future, the delegates consider what they would like to see at the next Edge Field Day event, from storage and IoT to gaming and security.

Meet the Security (and Safety) Requirements of the Edge with ZEDEDA

Event: Edge Field Day 1

Appearance: ZEDEDA Presents at Edge Field Day 1

Company: ZEDEDA

Video Links:

Personnel: Erik Nordmark, Raghu Vatte

Edge computing is creating a new reality for security professionals who now need to extend their security infrastructures to a distributed environment that might have no perimeter, is heterogeneous, includes devices that may be too constrained to run traditional security tools, may have little to no onsite IT staff, and at a scale that may run into the tens of thousands or more. Plus, as previously segmented IoT projects are brought onto the network to leverage the on-site data analysis and decision making enabled by edge computing, it also brings a new OT stakeholder that may have different concerns than IT. ZEDEDA offers a simple and scalable cloud-based orchestration solution that delivers visibility, control and security for distributed edge computing, and is designed to meet the security, safety, uptime and usability needs of both OT and IT organizations.
