In today’s world of new and growing workloads and use cases based on increased connectivity, big data and AI/ML, there has never been a greater need for security, stability and (real-time) performance of the underlying infrastructure - Linux or other. With a projected 62% of all data coming from the edge by 2027 and 94% of businesses already running or planning to run deployments on the edge (* according to Forbes), the requirements for a small footprint of that infrastructure are increasing as well.
The opportunity of increased connectivity and the above-mentioned workloads is huge, and at the same time leads to a number of challenges that businesses and organization need to address:
• How to identify the use cases that add most value to your business – such as predictive maintenance, energy usage optimization, remote control of assets or your supply chain operations as a whole
• How to deploy and maintain Linux in highly regulated environments with various certifications in your industry
• How to optimize DevOps processes to accelerate innovation
• How to balance performance and functionality when architecting a Linux-based OS that underlies next-generation devices at the intelligent edge
• How to architect infrastructure for scale, covering use cases all the way from the edge, to the cloud and your data center
• How to enable portability of workloads across your infrastructure
