BOSTON, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the global specialist in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced that Steven Carlini, Vice President of Innovation and Data Center, IT Division, will attend Gartner's annual IT Infrastructure, Operations and Cloud Strategies Conference to demystify the hype-cycle of edge computing and outline what it will take for the industry to build a foundation for success.

The event, in Las Vegas from December 3-6, will provide a forum for industry leaders and experts to discuss how the adoption of fast-moving technologies and methodologies – from cloud, edge computing and IoT to DevOps and AIOps – are demanding a new kind of technical knowledge and dexterity. Traditional data centers are shifting and becoming more distributed, requiring a digital approach to IT infrastructure and operations.

Carlini's session, From Buzzwords to Reality: Managing Edge Data Centers, scheduled Wednesday, December 5, at 9:15 a.m., will clarify edge's current state, cover the three areas our industry must improve in order to overcome challenges and deliver on the rich promise of edge: an integrated ecosystem, management tools, and analytics & AI. Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IT™ solution, a cloud-based architecture purpose-built for hybrid IT and data center environments, is specifically designed to provide proactive insights on critical IT environment assets to optimize infrastructure performance and mitigate risk. EcoStruxure IT also delivers enhanced value around safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity for distributed infrastructure.

"The market demand for edge computing continues to grow but so does the confusion that surrounds edge computing," Carlini said. "We believe customers will require the industry to work together in ways that it never has before to overcome the challenges of edge. We will discuss our view on the need for a more robust edge infrastructure and three key areas that our industry must improve to bring about this transformation."

Schneider Electric will host booth #340 and will offer on-site demos and discussions for visitors.
