What exactly is edge computing, and why is it important?
In today’s digital-first business era, organizations have realized the need to be agile and innovative to stay ahead of the curve. This means leveraging data-driven intelligence to deliver improved customer experience and value. Edge computing is transforming how data is stored, processed, analyzed and transported. Most analysts predict edge computing to be the fastest-growing segment in the industry, with IDC predicting that 50% of new enterprise IT infrastructure will be at the edge by 2023.
One of the most significant opportunities for companies is to determine how to harness data from the edge to the cloud. The Lenovo Edge ecosystem is open and flexible and integrates with key cloud providers to give the end-user end-to-end, ongoing management. Lenovo’s ThinkEdge portfolio has purpose-built devices designed to be networked on-premises. As our priority is on reliability, performance, ease of management, lower latency and security. Our ThinkSystem servers will safeguard data while meeting application and performance requirements.
Lenovo is committed to delivering optimized infrastructure solutions using open cloud architecture that requires data that is connected, so it can be absorbed, consumed, and acted upon. This in turn necessitates a new approach to collecting, managing, sharing, and distilling insights which subsequently empowers organizations of every scale.
With the deployment of IoT devices and the arrival of 5G networks in India, the volume of data usage will increase exponentially. This will create an opportunity for edge computing as well to become more mainstream across businesses and industries in the country.
Why does the BFSI sector need to undergo a digital transformation?
The evolving pace of digitisation, the growing threat of cybersecurity, and the need to adopt newer technologies can pose hurdles for organisations in the Indian banking, financial services and Insurance (BFSI) sector as they try to manage costs, efficiency, and customer experience while complying with regulatory frameworks. Customers are demanding seamless delivery of personalized services, whether at a physical branch or on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Digitising the BFSI sector will speed up its operations, achieve operational efficiency, and helps in delivering a better customer experience (CX). This is where Lenovo’s cutting-edge technology solutions can transform the financial services industry for a better tomorrow. Lenovo Managed Services can handle the entire IT infrastructure and allow business leaders to focus on critical objectives.
The sector being an early adopter of technology with its progressive digitalisation, the sector is does not remain absolved from the risk of data breaches. With an almost 350% increase in data breaches caused by brute force attacks, password breaches and human errors, there is no doubt that the security measures for the sector must be constantly scaled up. Lenovo’s comprehensive IT, Security and asset management solutions can help organisations with device management, asset tracking, proactive analytics and self-healing, compliance, and security management. We also have strategic partnerships in place with our software solution partners that allow us to design, deploy, and deliver these solutions.
