"Intel is extending its expertise from the data center to the network edge," said Caroline Chan, vice president Data Center Group and general manager of 5G Infrastructure Division, Network Platforms Group, Intel. "Intel's technology is accelerating the deployment of 5G. By utilizing Intel technologies such as our Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) platform built on industry standard servers, Smart Edge is helping its customers deliver new edge computing services faster and more cost effectively".
Deployed on the Smart Edge platform, enterprise applications and mobile devices can become context and user aware with the closest proximity possible. The Smart Edge solution improves user experiences, enables new revenue streams for stakeholders and reduces ongoing Edge Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), all driving factors in the adoption of 5G technologies.
"Smart Edge is an important innovation and disruptive technology that can best be exploited through the creation of a focused business unit," said Kevin Shank, Pivot President and Chief Executive Officer. "After successfully completing a use case with a Fortune 100 company late last year, we believe the time is right to provide the platform with the support of a dedicated and experienced team that will operationalize Smart-Edge.com, Inc. in the first half of calendar 2018."
The Smart Edge platform is ideal for developing applications and 5G preparedness. The unique framework supports the transparent integration of existing enterprise applications into the mobility environment. Most important, the applications and content proximity improve the user experience.
