Catching up on the IoT Edge

NAND Research — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 11:00:00 -0500

You can't escape the Edge, but what does it really mean for IT? This is a world where there are limited standards and no "one true way" to deliver solutions, so IT practitioners look to middleware and common tooling to help mangage the complexity. What's working? What isn't? And is there a turf war brewing between IT and OT teams within the enterprise?

This episode finds hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell talking to Jim White, the CTO of IOTech Systems, about the trends and technologies that are influencing the evolution of the IoT-driven edge. The guys also talk about some of the pitfalls and challenges faced by IT teams as they take on this challenging new area.

Special Guest: Jim White.

Edge Computing: IT meets Industry

NAND Research — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 14:00:00 -0400

Enterprise IT is rapidly moving towards the edge, but what does that really mean? There are extremes to what defines edge. Edge can describe the safe environment of a remote branch office, or maybe the air-conditioned cushiness of a remote telco hut. Then there's the extreme edge, where the lines between IT and OT blur, and anything can go.

Jason Andersen, Stratus Technologies' vice president of business line management, joins Moor Insights & Strategy senior technology analysts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell to talk about what edge computing can really mean.

If you're wondering how far the reach of IT can (or should) extend out into the wilds of remote infrastructure, then this is the podcast for you.

Cybersecurity in the age of the Intelligent Edge: A conversation with HPE and Aruba

NAND Research — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 10:00:00 -0400

The Intelligent Edge, encompassing "devices that aren't in the datacenter", is growing at a nearly exponential rate. This challenges how traditional IT thinks about managing intelligent infrastructure, especially at the intersection of IT and OT, forcing everyone to think just a little bit differently -- all of this as nearly every company is forging their own paths.

DataCentric hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell are joined by two experts in this field: Jon Green, VP and Chief Security Technologist and Aruba, a Hewlett Packard company, and Tim Ferrell, master cybersecurity architect at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, bring their unique perspectives about the challenges involved.

The gang ponders the how IT should think about evolving people, processes, and practices in the age of the Intelligent Edge.

This episode is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Special Guests: Jon Green and Tim Ferrell.
