Tata Communications unveils new edge computing platform for real-time decision making
Tata Communications, a communication technology company, has introduced a new edge computing platform called Tata Communications CloudLyte.
The company notes that the platform aims to assist businesses in adapting to the demands of a data-centric world by providing real-time data processing, low latency applications, and intelligent decision-making capabilities.
With the increasing connectivity of businesses and the growing popularity of technologies like 5G and IoT, there is a need for efficient data processing and quick decision-making, according to the company. Tata Communications CloudLyte aims to meet these demands by offering an architecture that can adapt to various cloud and infrastructure setups.
Neelakantan Venkataraman, vice president and global head – cloud and edge business at Tata Communications, says: “In a hyperconnected world, businesses increasingly rely on resilient, performant, and secure edge computing capabilities. These are essential for managing the immense volumes of raw data generated and processing them swiftly and efficiently to enable rapid decision-making and foster accelerated business transformation.
“By bringing the cloud experience to the edge, Tata Communications CloudLyte allows global enterprises to harness the full potential of cloud through a well-integrated cloud fabric. With Tata Communications CloudLyte — we’re not just building the future — we’re redefining it. From AI-driven predictive maintenance to retail analytics, the potential is limitless.”
The platform follows a ‘solution in a box’ approach, providing enterprises with a package including the platform itself, infrastructure, network, managed services, and specific use cases.
Tata Communications CloudLyte extends cloud capabilities to the edge, and also centralizes the management of edge resources and includes built-in security features like zero-trust architecture and layered defenses.
Kerem Arsal, senior principal analyst at Omdia, praises Tata Communications CloudLyte for its infrastructure-agnostic approach and its ability to support various access networks.
“Tata Communications CloudLyte fills a significant gap in the edge market with its infrastructure- and cloud-agnostic approach to computing, and its ability to support a wide range of access networks for connectivity, such as SD-WAN, Private 5G, and Wi-Fi,” adds Arsal.
“Cutting across IT and OT silos, it effectively unifies the management, provisioning, and orchestration of resources and applications in multi-cloud environments. Yet, it is also modular to give customers the flexibility to craft their own solutions depending on their existing settings and desired outcomes. As an elegant and holistic platform that fuses connectivity and computing, Tata Communications CloudLyte significantly reduces the complexity of edge deployments for many innovative use cases.”
