A1 - It's still the "wild, wild west" out there. Lots of discussion. Many end users struggling to solve their edge problems, lots of activity, but no standards, no "easy fix" for IT teams yet. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/96bqz

A2: We're hearing more and more about demand for real-time analytics AT the edge. they cannot wait for data transfer to cloud and then someone else doing analytics... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/36brk

A3 - The cloud is one of the problems. Over the last decade or so, most IT teams have figured out how to leverage cloud - but they are learning that in many cases, cloud is too expensive, slow and unreliable for the real-time compute, storage... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/86bso

A4: The edge needs onsite IT infrastructure that is low cost, easy, quick access to data and AI. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/16bt8

A5: Don't be afraid to think about how you did things "pre-cloud". build small, but powerful, onsite kit that delivers the uptime, processing, storage and analytics capability - connect to cloud as needed, but don't be dependent on cloud #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/36bu1

A6: there will be Standard applications and architectures, data analytics packages that can be tailored to use-cases, easy to build data retention/movement policies, #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/76buj

A7: Cost and Simplicity. These are very hard to solve. AWS/Azure/etc....have some great tools, but they are cost-prohibitive at the edge. IT teams need simply solutions, that don't require lots of management, and needs to be super low-cost si... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/36bvi

A8: Think big picture when designing your architectures and have an open mind. Cloud is great - but doesn't solve all use cases. Consider onsite IT at the edge to help with performance, uptime, managemenet and real-time analytics. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/66bwa

A9: Edge Computing isn't new. In the Mainframe days, remote sites connected to "the brains" with dumb terminals. Technology has evolved so now these remote enterprise (EDGE) sites don't have to be dumb - CPUs are so inexpensive and powerful, ... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/56bwo

A9: (con't) They should consider all possible ways to solve their IT challenges - cloud solves some, but a robust, onsite edge computing solution can solve many as wel.. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/56bwu

A2: #eWEEKchat the big trend we see is that analytics is starting to become a real-time thing - and doing it at the edge as close to where the data is generated is critical

A3: #eWEEKchat data silos - outcomes can't be super accurate if not all of the data is in the model

a5: #eWEEKchat find tools that link all of your edge sites together and allow data to be accessed - then run analytics locally for real-time answers

A8: #eweekchat run analytics at your edge/remote locations with platforms that can store and manage the data needed; look for small, powerful & low-cost!!!

A1: Clearly AI dominated the IT world in 2024. Some of it warranted, but I wonder if IT teams have been unnecessarily distracted by this "craze"? #eweekchat

A3: Cloud is still the dominant use case for any size organization - at least it needs to be considered. However, in 2025 we see more and more workloads moving back to on-prem - particularly for enterprise edge and midsize enterprises. #weekchat

A4: I'd argue that small, edge sites are the most vulnerable and it's not clear the "defense systems" are focused there. In addition to the same vulnerability for hackers - these locations have issues with physical access, lots of people have access to the servers, etc.#eweekchat

A5: Broadcom sent a shock wave through the IT world. Organizations are re-thinking everything. How do I virtualize? Accelerate our move to containers? where should workloads run? On-prem systems are now robust, performant and reliable these days. I see a change coming #eweekchat

A6: I see a massive resurgence of on-prem computing coming in 2025 and beyond. Cloud isn't cut out for everything, particularly AI - does it makes sense to send data from edge to cloud and back just for analytics? Edge computing will get more attention #eweekchat

A7: Another trend, or technology development is in the chip industry. Intel fell behind, tariffs on imports, does this open the door for innovation? There could be massive improvements in speeds and interconnect that can help with AI, quantum computing, etc.. #eweekchat
