IT solution providers may rightfully be wondering, “What’s in it for me?” A new edge computing webinar answers just that question. There’s good reason for all the buzz about the edge. Edge computing is becoming increasingly important as companies go through digital transformations, using technology to improve customer experiences, streamline operations, create new business opportunities and more. Canalys Research Reveals Specific Edge Computing Opportunities for IT Solution Providers All this activity at the edge is likewise creating opportunities for IT solution providers, who sell the infrastructure and services companies need to deploy effective edge data centers and micro data centers. To learn more about just what those opportunities are, APC by Schneider Electric commissioned Canalys, a leading research analyst firm, to survey IT channel partners on the edge computing opportunity. The one-hour webinar, “The Edge Computing Opportunity for Channel Partners,” features representatives from Canalys presenting the results of that research. They are joined by Giles Pattison of APC by Schneider Electric, who shares insights and solutions on the edge computing opportunity, from design to deployment to managing edge computing environments.
