StackPath CEO Joins Me For a Discussion on Getting Closer to the Eyeballs: What’s Next for the Edge, at #edgenext Summit

At the EdgeNext Summit, taking place Monday October 15th in NYC, StackPath founder and CEO, Lance Crosby, will join me to share his unique insights on the edge – everything from where the cloud really ends, why hyperscalers, even with 60% of workloads in hyperscaler clouds, have got it wrong to why disaggregation of services is becoming important for security services we all need like DDoS protection.

Hear us discuss what factors will change the edge (5G, C-Rans, and LEO satellites), the new technologies the edge will create, as well as the edge players and technologies. As someone who helped create the cloud, Lance will explain why we need the edge and the attributes the edge has that the cloud simply doesn’t. (session details)

Held in association with NAB Show New York, the one-day EdgeNext Summit will focus on content distribution at the edge and all that is taking place with CDN, WAF, DDoS, DNS & more. With a focused lineup of companies showcasing all the new decentralized ways services are being brought closer to the eyeballs, you’ll hear how the Edge is improving the end-user experience. From the last mile to the last inches. What’s next at the Edge?

Beyond Content Delivery: Identifying Which Edge Applications and Edge Platforms Are Ready To Go Today

With all the hype of edge computing and edge cloud, everyone is now claiming to have products that are focused on the “Edge”.

Furthermore, the futuristic view around autonomous cars, virtual reality and remote surgery is over used: is this the best we can do for use cases for edge?

At the EdgeNext Summit, taking place Monday October 15th in NYC, Yves Boudreau, CMO/VP of Ecosystem Strategy for Ericsson’s UDN will discuss what they have learned in the 12 months on real edge computing and learn which applications are likely to exemplify the near team user of the edge.

Held in association with NAB Show New York, the one-day EdgeNext Summit will focus on content distribution at the edge and all that is taking place with CDN, WAF, DDoS, DNS & more.
