Explainer: Edge AI
Edge AI allows companies to run artificial intelligence applications closer to data sources, improving efficiency and reducing latency. This approach is particularly beneficial in environments where immediate data processing is crucial, such as retail and industrial settings. Security and management of edge AI systems are essential, as distributed sites can increase vulnerability to attacks.
- ▪Companies are increasingly adopting edge AI to process data locally, minimizing delays and costs associated with cloud computing.
- ▪HPE ProLiant edge servers provide enhanced security features to protect against physical threats at distributed locations.
- ▪HPE Compute Ops Management enables organizations to efficiently manage edge computing environments, reducing the time spent on server management.

That means everywhere from branch offices to retail sites and industrial facilities. These use cases often share a key characteristic: They can't wait for a round trip to a hyperscale region.
