Whitepaper: Digital Remote Monitoring and Dispatch Services’ Impact on Edge Computing and Data Centers

The general concept of monitoring today is widely understood and anyone with a fitness tracker, continuous blood glucose monitor, or a learning home thermostat has had firsthand experience in how advances in IT have improved their lives. In particular, users benefit from immediate knowledge from their devices (e.g. calories burned, blood sugar level, etc.). However, most today are not benefiting from big data analytics and machine learning (AI). These and five other trends are poised to revolutionize how managers operate and maintain data centers.

This paper explains seven trends that are defining next-generation data center and edge computing remote monitoring services and its benefits. We describe the requirements to attain these benefits, and describe how operations and maintenance will evolve in the future.
