Abstract
The edge is transforming the way we live and the way our customers do business. 5G, AI, and the intelligent edge are among the superpowers that fuel edge computing which is providing new streams of monetization for enterprises and service providers. Intel is at the forefront of delivering edge innovations with a complete portfolio of hardware, software, and accelerators highly optimized for the edge. The Intel® Smart Edge portfolio provides Kubernetes-based edge software solutions that provide the foundations for a cloud-native service infrastructure delivering powerful optimizations for onboarding and managing applications and network functions across all edge locations: On-Premise, Access and Near Edge. The Smart Edge Open toolkit provides critical capabilities and pre-validated experience kits that customers leverage and adopt as they build their edge platforms, while the commercial software, Smart Edge offers a ready to deploy, turn-key offering from Intel delivering advanced MEC for on-premise such as private wireless deployments. In this session, you will hear how we are accelerating edge deployments with Smart Edge and enabling the ecosystem with easily consumable, use-case specific reference implementations and scalable blueprints.
