Although the Utilizing Edge podcast dives deep into the topic of edge computing, it's worth considering the topic from other perspectives. This episode of the On-Premise IT podcast features Andy Banta, Jim Jones, and Gina Rosenthal discussing the reality of edge with Stephen Foskett, host of Utilizing Edge. After a quick consideration of the various devices that could be considered edge, from mobile phones to 5G base stations to software to Intel NUCs, we discuss the requirements and demands of edge computing. But there are many similarities with datacenter and cloud, including virtual machines and containers, Kubernetes and firewalls, hyper-converged infrastructure and SD-WAN. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: The Edge is a Real Place

The term “lock in” gets thrown around a lot in IT. It’s the reason why we spend so much time engineering solutions that don’t make us dependent on technologies. But does it really matter in the long run? Is the treatment for lock in really better in the end? Does it matter if it’s in the enterprise or in the cloud? And are we finding ourselves locked in slowly or all at once? In this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Jody Lemoine, Snehal Patel, and Steve Puluka join Tom Hollingsworth to discuss the pros and cons of lock in and how it might not be as bad as you’re imagining. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Lock In Is The Enemy

In this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Tom Hollingsworth, Jody Lemoine, and Steve Puluka discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having easy access to everything at your fingertips via the API. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: APIs Are Ruining Networking
