The Edge is coming! The Edge is coming!

Actually, Edge Computing is already here. It has been here on everyone’s lips for quite some time, but for me and for many others, Edge Computing is still a hodgepodge of many things. The proliferation of devices, IoT, sensor, end points being pulled into the ubiquitous term of Edge Computing has made the scope ever changing, and difficult to pin down. And it is this proliferation of edge devices that will generate voluminous amount of data. Obvious questions emerge:

  • How to do you store all the data?
  • How do you process all the data?
  • How do you derive competitive value from the data from these edge devices?
  • How do you securely transfer and share the data?

From the storage technology perspective, it might be easier to observe what are the traits of the data generated on the edge device. In this blog, we also observe what could some new storage technologies out there that could be part of the Edge Computing present and future.

Storage at the Edge

The mantra of putting compute as close to the data and processing it where it is stored is the main crux right now, at least where storage of the data is concerned. The latency to the computing resources on the cloud and back to the edge devices will not be conducive, and in many older settings, these edge devices in factory may not be even network enabled. In my last encounter several years ago, there were more than 40 interfaces, specifications and protocols, most of them proprietary, for the edge devices. And there is no industry wide standard for these edge devices too.

Time to Advocate Common Data Personality

The thought of it has been on my mind since Commvault GO 2019. It was sparked when Don Foster, VP of Storage Solutions of Commvault answered a question posted by one of the analysts. What he said made a connection, as I was searching for the better insights to how Commvault and Hedvig would end up to be together.

Data Deluge is a swamp thing now

Several years ago, I heard Stephen Brobst, CTO of Teradata brought up the term “Data Swamp“. It was the anti- part of the Data Lakes, and this was back when Data Lakes and Hadoop were all the rage. His comments were raw, honest and it was leading to the truth out there.

I was enamoured by his thoughts at the time, and today, his comments about the Data Swamp manifested itself. Continue reading →
