Edge Analytics and CDN: How to Keep the Best Content Close to the Customer

IP video traffic will be 82 percent of all IP traffic in the world by 2022, increasing by four-fold since 20171. Video on demand alone is doubling in the same period, an amount equal to 10 billion DVDs per month. Service providers need Edge services and platforms that can scale in order to meet what has become an insatiable demand for visual experiences. See how Intel has the extensible hardware, software and ecosystem partners to address these challenges head on.

In our Visual Cloud session, you’ll hear from CenturyLink, Cellnex and Lenovo on how they are meeting visual computing and CDN demands while optimizing those experiences through evolving Edge architectures.
