Edge computing with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

As customer expectations rise, so does the demand for increased access to devices, data, and applications to power new experiences. Every interaction between company and customer is now a hybrid mix of technologies and touchpoints. For organizations, this presents a unique opportunity to derive insights by analyzing data locally to initiate actions like anomaly detection in manufacturing, predictive maintenance on an oil rig, new service offerings within smart cities, or contactless retail stores. Data also helps organizations offer new, modernized applications with enhanced user experiences like augmented reality / virtual reality (AR/VR) and video streaming in industries like telecommunications, healthcare, and education. However, gathering and analyzing data at a speed that captures patterns quickly or delivers the application experience users demand, requires a different approach to a traditional centralized IT architecture. This is where edge computing can help.
