If you want your data center to be reliable, you may need to use grease

NASA’s moon-based LunaNet will be one step towards bringing the Internet to the rest of the solar system

The rise of online retail and the Covid-19 pandemic are driving store closures, so retailers need to get smarter about how they use technology at the Edge.

Forget 5G, the IoT, and micro data centers at cell towers (for now) - DartPoints CEO Scott Willis says the Edge opportunity is small facilities in Tier 3 cities

Cashierless shopping requires tons of cameras, and even more compute to track it all

Like the paperless office, the lights-out data center has proven elusive

Keeping 5G infrastructure running 24x7 will require new approaches to remote management and maintenance

5G is power hungry - but telecoms operators may have some answers to keep it supplied with energy

DCD exclusive: Microsoft’s underwater data center experiment employed wave energy and post-quantum cryptography on the seabed off Scotland. But the big lessons could be learnt on land

5G infrastructure is being built from the ground up to support larger numbers of smaller data centers at the network edge

Which countries have got 5G, what standards are in use, and how important are they for telcos?

Edge facilities will be built in hostile environments. If you open them without due care, you could destroy the whole business model, warns ASHRAE

Is Edge going to change everything or will it fit alongside everything we already have?

The Edge is still in its early stages but faces challenges from deployment during Covid-19

Alphabet is rethinking how civilization and self-driving systems interact, opening up an opportunity for the Edge

In the new generation of mobile networks, the global pandemic is accelerating a trend to replace specialized hardware with software

Smart cities promise massive improvements in efficiency. To deliver, they will have to intelligently combine Edge resources with the cloud

While we all wait for autonomous vehicles, is a more useful technology already here?

5G is set to usher in higher data transfer speeds, enabling a new wave of computing technologies. But this will put new pressure on energy efficiency

They want to drink your blood. They happen to give you diseases. The challenge is knowing where they live. Behind the efforts to use Edge computing to combat mosquitoes

We have heard that hyperconnected, AI-driven factories of the future will require tons of compute, storage and networking. This vision is slow to turn to reality

It's finally coming, and data center networks will have to adjust

A lot of 5G predictions sound like hype. Here's the reality

Shifting virtual workloads into the Edge gives both fixed and mobile network operators multiple advantages

The future of computing will be spread across the network - from the device, to the Edge compute node, to the data center

As well as potentially unique challenges around physical security, Edge locations require greater considerations around data security

Resources for edge applications will be more costly than centralized cloud capacity. The applications will have to justify that higher cost

When fiber and cellular coverage let you down, the answer could lie in a higher power
