An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
With the rise of AI and other data-intensive technologies, coupled with the ongoing rollout of 5G, edge computing increasingly requires edge-based compute resources. Think cloud data centers, only much smaller and located in office buildings, stadiums, retail establishments, or anywhere else edge compute power is needed.
The telcos see an immense opportunity here, as they are already building out 5G infrastructure that includes edge compute capabilities at local points of presence and cell towers. However, enterprises are more likely to require a hybrid mix of edge compute resources, including their own on-premises edge as well as edge compute resources from multiple telco operators.
MobiledgeX is building a platform that addresses this complex combination of business requirements. The vendor offers a policy-driven matching engine that matches up enterprise edge compute requirements with available edge compute resources, similar to the way an airline booking engine puts butts in seats.
MobiledgeX gives the platform to the telco operators for free, and then handles business transactions with enterprises on behalf of the operators, thus providing both a business value-add as well as its technical matching capability.
