In the final installment of the Vertiv Edge Computing Innovation Day, DCD ’s Alex Dickins sits down with three experts from Vertiv to discuss the realistic roadmap for distributed computing.

Distributed cloud, according to Gartner, “is the distribution of public cloud services to different physical locations, while the operation, governance, updates, and evolution of the services ...

However, as issues like high fees, security concerns and vendor lock-in emerge, hybrid decentralized approaches like cloud-prem come forth as the next step in the evolution of computing.

As the surface area of cloud operations expands, the concept of distributed computing takes center stage, which must be run in cloud operations, bringing potential challenges and opportunities.

Here’s the good news. Instead of relying on centralized data centers that often sit idle, mesh infrastructure taps into a distributed pool of underutilized computing resources.

If you look back at distributed computing in the early 1970s, and grid computing and some of the terminology that was linked with it in the mid 1990s, you see that grid has gone through quite an ...

Grid computing is a natural evolution of distributed computing. For compute-heavy applications such as scientific calculations, grid computing has delivered strong cost savings. Yet for more data ...
