Edge computing

We’ll help you connect and secure your data at the edge

By 2022, more than 50% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside the data center or cloud.”

Edge computing is computing that happens at or near the source of data, instead of relying on the the data centre or external cloud to do all the work. We can help provide the networks that connect your data to the edge and we can help secure your data when it’s there.

Why Proact?

We are firmly in the era of both internal and external cloud computing – and the clouds aren’t going away any time soon. But the edge is also firmly on the agenda of any organisation thinking about the architecture of its next-generation data centre. How will you connect to edge hardware in a safe, efficient way? How will you secure data at the edge? How can you do advanced processing at the edge? Will it be compliant? These are the kinds of question we can answer as we help you plan for the future.
