The industry is realizing the drawbacks of traditional core-to-edge configurations, such as high latency due to bottlenecking and increased workloads on the data center. Networks are becoming even more distributed and connected, which has ushered in the reimagining of conventional networking and processing.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gartner, \u201cmore than 50% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside the data center or cloud\u201d by 2022.<\/p>\n<p>You can no longer rely on edge locations to simply deliver all data to the core for processing. As more information is generated at distributed locations, your data center will become overwhelmed should you continue using a traditional approach. This is why it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3224893\/what-is-edge-computing-and-how-it-s-changing-the-network.html\">important to bolster your edge networks with processing<\/a> and other capabilities that will help balance the workload.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.1&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><b>What does the future of edge networking look like?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The future of edge networking will help you and your users realize benefits like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improved responsiveness due to decreased latency<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better, faster performance due to optimized bandwidth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure &amp; reliable global access using modern technologies<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.1&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Instead of waiting for data to be processed at the core, your edge users will get a more responsive experience. Both internal and external users will be able to take advantage of locally-stored &#038; processed information that\u2019s readily available when they need it. On top of this, you\u2019ll be able to provide better global access using the latest methodologies &#038; tech, which will keep users &#038; information secure regardless of your expanded network presence.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.1&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>#1  Get edgified<\/h3>\n<p>Better edge networking starts with laying sturdy groundwork.
