Balakrishnan Anantharaman, VP and MD-Sales, India and SAARC, Nutanix, told IANS that with legacy three-tier architectures already struggling to cope with high volumes of data generated by today’s enterprises, 5G will be the catalyst that drives edge computing and IoT.
He further stated that as increased speed and bandwidth reduce the gap between wifi and cellular devices — edge computing will come into a realm of its own.
