360 edge-to-cloud platform for telco edge cloud

Edge computing is opening new use cases that are computing and data-intensive, latency-sensitive or require data residency, security-focused, or resilience-capable. As edge becomes a commercial reality, more players compete in the space. According to Gartner®, “By year-end 2026, 70% of large enterprises will have a documented strategy for edge computing, compared to fewer than 10% in 2023.”1 Thanks to TEC, telecommunications (telcos) can propose powerful edge-application services to their customers (critical communications, augmented reality, video analytics) or allow their customers to host and manage applications inside the TEC infrastructure.

To overcome these challenges, orchestration and automation are the key elements. Telco edge orchestration, in this sense, needs to include a whole new set of features when compared to cloud computing or classical telco network orchestrators. Nearby Computing specifically aimed at these differential features when defining and developing its orchestration and automation platform, NearbyOne, complementing Red Hat® OpenShift® and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes.
