With this portfolio of connectivity, data centre and security, Airtel is fully equipped to offer Airtel Cloud - multi-cloud solutions for business. So, let's look at the Edge CDN Service offered by Airtel for Business.
Edge Cloud
An Edge Cloud can be referred to somewhere between cloud computing and the edge of a network. Edge Clouds are intelligent edge nodes closer to the source of data, equipment and devices, with software architecture to deliver services in a way similar to public cloud services hosted by micro data centres. These micro DCs store, analyze and process the data faster than using a connection to a data centre. With the implementation of an edge cloud, a variety of functions will migrate to it.
Advantages of Edge Cloud
Since the edge is decentralized and located across, any attacks are limited at the edge, which is more secure than traditional network architectures and provides more control over data flow. In addition, if an edge is impacted, other parts of the network continue without any issues during outages elsewhere in the system.
