Edge Innovation is Coming from All Directions | Utilizing Tech 05x22 - Gestalt IT
As we've discussed all season on Utilizing Edge, innovation is coming from all directions, including hardware, software, and applications. This special crossover episode of the On-Premise IT and Utilizing Tech podcasts features Edge Field Day delegates Brian Knudtson, Ned Bellavance, and Jody Lemoine discussing their perspectives about edge innovation with Stephen Foskett. The primary drivers at the edge are integration, efficiency, and connectivity, as well as the unique needs of the applications there. Starting with hardware, customers are headed in two directions, with more enterprise availability features deployed in some locations and less-capable hardware in others, both in terms of compute and networking. At the software level, most edge infrastructure is hyper-converged, meaning that multiple layers of the stack are integrated in software and managed as one. Although intended as an application platform, Kubernetes is being deployed as a packaging abstraction and distribution solution at the edge.
Just Posted: "The New Direction of Hardware Led by Edge Computing" podcast episode explores how edge computing is leading the transformation of the hardware industry, especially with the discontinuation of Intel's NUC product line, paving the way for innovative, affordable, and energy-efficient devices.

The New Direction of Hardware Led by Edge Computing - Utilizing Tech
Edge is leading the hardware industry into a new era of innovation. In this episode of Utilizing Tech, Stephen Foskett, and co-hosts, Allyson Klein and Alistair Cooke, sit down to dissect this. In the wake of Intel’s discontinuation of its NUC product line, a question that is in everyone’s mind is, what’s next. Intel, and many behemoths like it, have a proud legacy of knowing how to break a stalemate and preserve the churn, and even if that means stepping up and pulling the plug on an old product. It oxygenates the marketplace, welcoming new solutions and keeping the wheel of innovation moving. In the context of the emerging paradigm of edge, this change will likely propel the market towards a new breed of powerful, low-cost, pocket-size hardware that delivers breakthrough energy-efficiency and compute performance with little infrastructure.

Personal and Mobile Devices at the Edge with Mark Houtz and Jim Czuprynski - Utilizing Tech
Personal devices are increasingly being used across enterprise IT, from smartphones to wearable devices, and these are becoming the true edge. This episode of Utilizing Edge brings Field Day delegates Mark Houtz and Jim Czuprynski together with Stephen Foskett to discuss the personal side of the edge. Mobile Device Management (MDM) has been used to manage smartphones and similar technology is used for personal computers, but it seems inevitable that there will be a mixing of business and private data. The mix and match of personal devices at the edge is sure to be a topic of future focus.
#SymLink: Stephen Foskett, along with Mark Houtz and Jim Czuprynski, highlight the increasing use of personal devices in enterprise IT and the ensuing intersection of business and private data, calling for robust ethical frameworks to maintain privacy and security amidst the rise of edge computing.

Just Posted: Jason Benedicic, Alastair Cooke, and Stephen Foskett discuss the practical applications of blockchain technology in edge and IoT domains, emphasizing core concepts like the distributed ledger and consensus approach, on the "Utilizing Edge" podcast episode titled "The Intersection of Edge, Blockchain, and IoT with Jason Benedicic."

The Intersection of Edge, Blockchain, and IoT with Jason Benedicic - Utilizing Tech
Although blockchain technology has been tainted by scammers, the core idea of distributed consensus is relevant for certain edge applications. This episode of Utilizing Edge focuses on practical application of blockchain technology in edge and IoT, featuring Jason Benedicic, Alastair Cooke, and Stephen Foskett. Two key concepts in blockchain are the distributed ledger and consensus approach. There is a lot of work being done to apply blockchain in medical, finance, IoT, and proof of provenance. Although many applications can rely on authority or quorum, larger and more heterogeneous applications might benefit from consensus instead. The other aspect of blockchain, chain of custody and immutability of data, is potentially relevant in preventing supply chain attacks and dealing with transient devices. It's important to remember that many of the things that have put people off blockchain, from financialization to public exposure of transactions, are not necessarily required in all blockchains.
