许多边缘计算部署是通过非常具体的需求所驱动，但由于新的需求可能会出现在路上与一组不同的边缘需求，IT领导人应该采取边计算架构与flexibility and adaptability in mind.
The fact that all edge-computing systems have certain things in common – complex combinations of hardware, applications, infrastructure software and networking – doesn’t mean they should all have the same design.
Every new project requires highly specialized software and integrated custom networking to deliver on project goals across such diverse applications as industrial control, autonomous transportation, health services, public safety and energy management. Each use case will have its unique requirements in terms of performance, response times, quantity of data to be gathered and processed, and cost.
The future of remote work has arrived.
With the work-at-home mandates triggered by COVID-19 quarantines, businesses have adapted on-the-fly to create remote-networking environments that maintain corporate security. Largely, they have done so by expanding traditional remote access solutions including VPN infrastructure and services, virtual desktop infrastructure, secure Wi-Fi access points and even SD-WAN for home use.
在最近可用的公民宽带无线业务（CBRS）开辟了新的商机，为企业部署私有的 4G和5G 网络，这可以证明在移动边缘计算部署。
CBRS非常适合于企业关键的通信需求分布在广阔的地理区域，其中包括会展中心，体育场馆运动，矿山，港口，农场和制造工厂。
Combining 4G and 5G cellular services with SD-WAN can give enterprise IT pros connectivity options that are faster than wired alternatives such as MPLS and that provide benefits including rapid provisioning, improved reliability and more bandwidth for less money.
Branch offices, which are undergoing dramatic changes in the amount of traffic they generate and where that traffic goes, can particularly benefit from 4G and 5G, and one enabler is software-defined WAN.
云服务提供网络和安全智能的日益普及，因为它们很容易使用和他们提高灵活性。类似地，模型被称为 SD-分支是在广域网边缘在一个平台上提供的网络和安全功能。
The market for SD-WAN remains white hot with distributed organizations widely deploying the technology to solve WAN bandwidth limitations, provide reliability/resiliency and improve quality of user experience for cloud-based applications.
Dozens of suppliers are rapidly innovating and maturing their SD-WAN products with innovations in cloud onramps, support for leading SaaS applications, security and management/automation platforms.
Here are six top issues to evaluate as SD-WAN moves to its 2.0 phase and beyond during 2020.
尽管明显的成本效益，白盒交换机配备独立的网络操作系统（NOS）解决方案已经看到了龙头企业的IT部门只有有限的收养。
（内幕故事）The promise of SD-Branch is that by collapsing network functionality in branch offices to a unified platform, enterprises can reap benefits in speed of deployment, ease of operation and cost. Since Wi-Fi is a critical piece of local area communications for many branch sites, improved integration, security and management of Wi-Fi is becoming increasingly important to evaluating the benefits of SD-Branch solutions.
In branch offices, connected LAN devices and applications must be linked to the Internet via SD-WAN services. By integrating LAN and WAN connectivity, SD-WAN helps to simplify network management with a unified platform as compared to each function having its own unique management console.
虽然蜂窝无线通常被认为是作为载体服务，IT组织可以从部署私人4G LTE技术来补充或者甚至取代Wi-Fi和特定的用例如支撑产生大的数据集的IoT的设备和有利于都分布在广大地区。
我们已经看到的炒作是否 5G蜂窝或的Wi-网络连接6 将赢得在企业，但现实情况是，两者是有一些用例的重叠，将通过21世纪20年代初做出了一个有趣的竞争环境很大程度上是互补的。
移动边缘计算（MEC）是一个网络架构支持计算，分析和存储容量在网络的边缘，和支持者表示，提供了一种用于需要低等待时间，特别是应用程序的IoT应用显着的性能好处。
要帮助IT专业人员达到他们的软件定义的数据中心网络（SDDCN）顶级的性能，我们已经在2019确定了10个关键技术领域的观察和评估。
SDDCN性能，需要先进的网络软件来配置，管理和安全高速业务流，和网络管理员需要自动化解决方案，以监测和关键应用程序提供的服务的质量可靠。
软件定义的WAN流量激增，因此是技术提供商，为企业竞争的SD-WAN的客户数量。这也是需要考虑的IT专业人员调查SD-WAN的部署选项和权衡的功能，如应用程序优先级，multicloud支持和集成化网络安全重要性的一些关键问题。
SD-WAN技术和服务的设计结合多个物理WAN链接成一个逻辑网络，并提供流量优先级，以加速应用程序的性能。使用网络抽象，SD-WAN通过使企业能够充分利用廉价的电路，如互联网，以应对不断增长的带宽需求提高了分支连接的经济性。SD-WAN是比较容易部署和管理，因为它映射的新服务 - 应用程序优先级，安全，管理 - 对现有物理网络之上
