Enabling the edge to cloud continuum for enterprise digital transformation

The needs of modern enterprises are becoming increasingly complex, increasingly quickly. The digital transformation imperative clearly involves leveraging hybrid cloud architectures extended all the way to the shop floor–the far edge–, deploying pervasive connectivity, and securely managing real-time data flows. When it all comes together, businesses become smarter, more efficient and more effective. To enable this global opportunity, Dell Technologies, Microsoft and Vodafone Business have come together with an end-to-end managed service that makes the underlying technology easy, so the enterprise’s focus stays on business outcomes.

During Mobile World Congress, RCR Wireless News discussed the partnership and what it can mean in terms of catalyzing Industry 4.0 initiatives. Jenn Didoni, head of cloud, edge and MPN for Vodafone Business and Dell’s Hyon Dijksterhuis, director of the telco line of business in EMEA. Didoni explained it this way: “We like to talk about the cloud-to-edge continuum, and thinking about making sure that no matter what the use case for our customers, we have the right cloud and network configuration to keep their data where it needs to be and to secure the end-to-end [solution] and make sure that it’s performing where it needs to be.”
