How to deploy AI workloads at the edge using open source solutions

AI is driving a new wave of opportunities in all kinds of edge settings—from predictive maintenance in manufacturing, to virtual assistants in healthcare, to telco router optimisation in the most remote locations. But to support these AI workloads running virtually everywhere, companies need edge infrastructure that’s fast, secure and highly scalable.

AI in Healthcare: 5 Use Cases and 1 challenge

The accelerated developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare have set the stage for some interesting transformations. By enabling better care for patients, optimizing processes, and generating new opportunities for medical research and treatment, these technologies are indeed going to change the healthcare industry radically.

5G mobile networks: A driver for edge computing

Recently, a striking report published by Omdia and Canonical highlighted that 86% of communication service providers (CSPs) are optimistic about the future of edge computing on telco networks. This is a market that is expected to grow substantially in the coming years, with our report shedding light on the motivation that CPSs are drawing from the enhancements that 5G networks will bring.
