SDxCentral Releases 2017 Innovations in Edge Computing and MEC Report
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- SDxCentral.com announces the availability of a new report: The 2017 Innovation in Edge Computing and MEC Report.
5G is enabling a host of new applications for enterprises and consumers, including augmented reality, virtual reality, IoT, autonomous vehicles and more. MEC (multi-access edge computing) and Edge Computing will play a critical role in successful 5G application roll-outs. The benefits of reduced latency, improved throughput, better security and isolation, along with data reduction and context- and location-awareness make Edge Computing and MEC a compelling area of infrastructure investment for CSPs (communication service providers).
In recognition of the need to standardize an open environment at the edge, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) established an Industry Specification Group (ISG) on MEC. The ISG is working on terminology, architectures, use cases and requirements with the goal of seamless integration of third-party applications across multivendor platforms at the mobile edge. At the same time, other organizations such as OpenFog Consortium, Open Edge Computing Initiative and open-source projects like EdgeX Foundry are driving industry-wide collaboration to help form a foundational platform on which Edge Computing applications can be built and deployed.
The SDxCentral Edge Computing and MEC report delves into the current state of MEC, the key use cases that are being discussed and prototyped today by leading CSPs, early POCs and pre-standard deployments that exist today. Covering MEC and variations, including Edge Computing, Fog Computing and Distributed Clouds, the report provides an important primer for those looking to get up to speed quickly on one of the hottest trends in the SP space, and will be an important resource for enterprises and service providers alike as they navigate the Edge Computing and MEC landscape.
This report, which also includes the results of our recent 2017 MEC and Edge Computing survey, is complimentary and available for download at SDxCentral.com. Vendors who are interested in participating in future versions of this report or other reports published by SDxCentral.com can contact us at https://www.sdxcentral.com/participate.
