The next wave of computing is taking shape around us – from smart devices and sensors that can speak, listen and action; to compute-enabled in remote parts of the globe – without requiring always-on connectivity to the cloud to make real-time, insightful decisions. This is the intelligent edge, and it’s defining the next wave of innovation and how organizations will address some of the world’s most pressing problems.
