Becoming EDGY

Winner! Digital Transformation Asia 2019: Best new Catalyst in show

5G will be the gold mine for enterprise business units of telcos. The ability of dynamic network slicing with zero-touch orchestration is touted to be a critical success factor for 5G. However, this is just solving half of the puzzle. Edge cloud management is the other missing piece. Edge use cases have varying characteristics and thus require various edge implementations in order to be efficient and cost-effective. Being able to scale beyond public, private, and hybrid clouds extending automated lifecycle management to the edge is of great importance.

There is currently no standardization in this space and many open source projects have tried to address the requirements in this space. This Catalyst seeks to explore the maturity of the solutions in the market for edge cloud management and how this should be wired up consistently with the automation and orchestrating happening close to the core sites.
