The Digital Future, Powered by Edge and 5G

With 2.5 billion consumer accounts, Mastercard processes 75 billion transactions per year. To speed transactions, protect consumers and combat fraud, they leverage edge computing to analyse 1.2 billion transactions per day, or 65,000 transactions per second, or 50 milliseconds per transaction. Join us to learn how computing at the edge delivers benefits across speed, resilence, security, and privacy - and why localization has become critical to their platform.&nbsp;

Edge Computing Is the Answer When Milliseconds Matter

Production quality, asset monitoring, inventory management, and autonomous navigation are just a few examples of solutions that benefit from edge computing. To unlock those kinds of value, organizations need to create a common and ubiquitous approach to managing those environments - whether they're from providers of infrastructure, networks, clouds, applicatons, or systems integration. Join us to learn how the Linux Foundation Edge (LFEdge) program was created with that goal in mind, and how the Open Horizon project was created to enable a consistent and scalable approach to managing edge deployments.&nbsp;

Resiliency at the Edge: How Robust and Secure Is Your Physical IT Infrastructure?

Unlike other companies just now charting an edge strategy, Sonos was founded in the environment of IoT and edge devices. The maker of premium speakers, sound systems and other products and services still has to balance what stays on the cloud; make decisions about consumer data and security; and devise an overall IT strategy now that its internal journey to the cloud is almost complete. Find out how Sonos is using automation to drive growth and integrating data to create a unified customer experience.&nbsp;
