On 25 February 2024, at MWC 2024, Intel announced its new Edge Platform, a modular, open software platform enabling enterprises to develop, deploy, run, secure, and manage edge and AI applications at scale with cloud-like simplicity. Together, these capabilities will accelerate time-to-scale deployment for enterprises, contributing to improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
The amount of computing happening at the edge is growing fast because that is where data are generated. In addition, many edge computing deployments are incorporating AI. At the edge, businesses need to automate for many reasons: to achieve pricing competitiveness, to relieve the effects of labor shortages, to expand innovation, to add efficiency, to improve time to market, and to deliver new services.
However, working at the edge is often complex and challenging for a variety of reasons:
- Difficulty building performant edge AI solutions with high return on investment across a range of use cases in a specific industry
- The diversity of hardware, software, and even power requirements at the edge
- A lack of secure and cost-effective methods to move and utilize the high data volumes required by AI at the edge while maintaining low latency
- Increasingly complex operations management of distributed edge devices and applications at scale
