The AI-ready edge from Cisco and Nutanix

Edge computing has evolved from a back-end support function into a strategic priority that drives real-time decisions, reduces latency, and powers AI at the source of data. For years, many edge sites were treated as smaller, remote versions of the data center. There were a few applications, a few servers, limited local IT support, and a lot of operational compromises. That model worked when the edge was mainly about branch connectivity, local transactions, or a handful of business applications.  

But older edge network models were never built for AI and other advanced, data-intensive applications. They lack the compute power, low latency, and real-time data processing that AI workloads demand.  

The modern edge network platform has arrived and it’s called Nutanix Cloud Platform with Cisco Unified Edge. This AI-ready compute system simplifies distributed operations with edge-optimized hardware, centralized visibility, remote deployment, and full-stack lifecycle management.
