Internet of Things (IoT), smart connected solutions, and installations have seen tremendous growth in recent years, and the business impact that they carry is not something that can be ignored.
Businesses need to reevaluate old operating models, research new technologies, and increase the agility required to respond to customers and competitors. Edge computing enhances application performance, derived from reduced data processing latency, but also brings certain challenges to SMBs. The Edge requires connectivity, IT infrastructure, app development, and service management.
This whitepaper presents an overview of edge computing technology and the current hurdles that businesses need to overcome to welcome it. The document aims to provide information on QNAP’s QGD-1600P, an advanced and unique smart PoE edge switch that can drive customer value through an integrated edge ecosystem.
