DDIInternet of ThingsIPAMVirtualization & CloudCloud to the Edge Brings IP Space ComplexityThe future of cloud computing is near the edge. Edge computing brings compute and storage at the network perimeter, closer to usages. According to the ECCE (Edge Computing Consortium Europe) “The Edge Computing paradigm describes an approach to execute certain services closer to devices and thereby supplements centralized Cloud Computing solutions”. However, this new architecture approach brings with it infrastructure and network challenges. Included in this context of increased complexity are the IPAM repository and network functions such as DNS...
DDIInternet of ThingsIPAMIoT in Higher Education: How DDI Enhances User ExperienceThis week’s blog comes to us from our very own Paul-Emile Bellaloum, Global Project Delivery Manager. Different surveys show that more than 80% of students believe personal information will transform their higher education experience. Today’s students are comfortable sharing their personal information, but they expect more in return from schools when they do. Just like with an app, they prefer to “give to get” when it comes to data. IoT is seen as a valuable means of gathering data, and...
