Event Description
Please join this cutting-edge panel session comprised of thought leaders from Western Digital (WD), World Wide Technologies (WWT), Red Hat, and Mainsail Industries to share their insights on next-generation technologies which dramatically change the speed, security, reliability, and scale at the tactical edge.
Edge computing gives our warfighters access to innovative and secure solutions at the tactical edge – whether on land, in the air, or at sea. Military overmatch today depends on the ability to prevail on the digital battlefield. It allows processing and computing to happen far beyond the IT enterprise—on the edge device itself and the front lines of every mission. WWT will discuss use cases and how their unified cyber platform integrates a complete solution to address instant-on capabilities which instantiate and deliver reliable services at the Edge. Red Hat will discuss how edge computing extends the open hybrid cloud to the data sources and end-users. They will discuss an edge strategy that delivers insights and experiences at the moment they’re needed. WD will present customer use cases and how bare metal edge platforms address Durability, Size, Weight, and Power characteristics at the edge. Mainsail will wrap up the panel session by discussing use cases and how to deploy highly secure stacks to enable multi-mission capabilities at the Edge. The panel will then discuss market trends needed to support the DoD cyber workforce and take questions from the audience.
