The rise of open source at the edge is happening by necessity, as no two edge networks and device clusters are alike, requiring high degrees of customization Next time you run data analytics or use a mobile app, thank an open-source community. No other force has opened up innovation and accessibility in computing as much as the open-source movement. Open-source systems make the world’s cloud providers, corporate data centers, social media platforms, and mobile apps. Now, open source is opening the next frontier in technology – edge computing. Crack open a typical edge computing device, and chances are you will find Linux or another open-source system inside. The rise of open source at the edge is happening by necessity, as no two edge networks and device clusters are alike, requiring high degrees of customization. At the same time, the...

Enterprise open source and edge computing: 4 stats to know

Edge computing and enterprise open source are two important trends that have a lot to do with each other. Edge depends upon open hybrid cloud, to deliver flexibility and consistency advantages for enterprise IT. It’s a symbiotic relationship, as Rosa Guntrip, senior principal marketing manager, cloud platforms at Red Hat, recently noted. “Businesses need flexibility in terms of where they place their workloads, and if their strategy changes, [they need] consistency of operations – for both ITOps and developers, so as to enable them to react quickly and with minimal disruption,” says Guntrip. [ Get a shareable primer: How to explain edge computing in plain English.] The 2021 State of Enterprise Open Source Report offers up some data points that highlight the relationship between edge, enterprise open source, and other critical...
