Paper Title: Storage At The Edge - Solving Latency & Bandwidth Constraints

Paper Abstract: Storage at the Edge is where physical meets the digital - where real-time data is received, processed, generated, consumed, and transferred between applications and user systems. With more applications moving to the cloud at breakneck speeds, it's become increasingly important to improve performance and reduce operational costs - this can be done when solutions are located at the edge. Edge infrastructure can alleviate both Latency and Bandwidth issues, especially when managing large amounts of data by distributing computing and storage resources closer to the micro, metro, and macro edge locations where data is generated and consumed. This presentation will highlight 3 Case Studies: 1. Media & Entertainment: Innovative Virtual Production during COVID-19 2. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles for Offloading Oceanic Data 3. NASA funded massive drone-gathered data sets for saving the environment
