Accelerating change is challenging organizations as they strive to adjust and leverage new opportunities. As they transform, the amount of data being generated continues to grow exponentially – especially with the increasing use of audio and video devices, automation and growing instrumentation of enterprise facilities. For example, it's estimated that a typical smart factory generates 5 petabytes a week and hospitals produce 50 petabytes of data per year (World Economic Forum). It's believed that less than 1% of that data is analyzed and acted upon in real-time. Network and storage costs, security requirements and performance issues are leaving enterprises disillusioned with cloud-only strategies.
A holistic cloud strategy must consider edge architecture. This resurgence of moving compute back to the edge is driven by the lower cost of edge devices, greater computing power and advances in artificial intelligence.
Join us as we showcase the amazing innovations happening in Connected Industries. We'll explore how leading enterprises are leveraging edge technologies to optimize data collection and enable quicker responses to generated data.
We'll be joined by multiple industry leaders who'll share their insights and experiences. Our speakers include a Gartner analyst as well as Rika Nakazawa, VP Digital Transformation and Shahid Ahmed, NTT's EVP for New Ventures and Innovation and member of the United States FCC Technological Advisory Council (TAC), for the new Biden Administration's Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
