If not designed and managed correctly, the situation can be disastrous if users cannot connect to business-critical applications. + +To avoid unacceptable downtime, companies should incorporate three essential ingredients into their edge computing deployments: remote management, physical security, and rapid deployments. + +**Remote management** + +Depending on the company’s size, staff could be managing several — or many multiple — edge sites. Not only is this time consuming and costly, it’s also complex, especially if protocols differ from site to site. + +While some organizations might deploy traditional remote monitoring technology to manage these sites, it’s important to note these tools: don’t provide real-time status updates; are largely reactionary rather than proactive; and are sometimes limited in terms of data output. + +Coupled with the need to overcome these limitations, the economics for managing edge sites necessitate that organizations consider a digital, or cloud-based, solution. In addition to cost savings, these platforms provide: + + * Simplification in monitoring across edge sites + * Real-time visibility, right down to any device on the network + * Predictive analytics, including data-driven intelligence and recommendations to ensure proactive service delivery + + + +**Physical security** + +Small, local edge computing sites are often situated within larger corporate or wide-open spaces, sometimes in highly accessible, shared offices and public areas. And sometimes they’re set up on-the-fly for a time-sensitive project. + +However, when there is no dedicated location and open racks are unsecured, the risks of malicious and accidental incidents escalate. + +To prevent unauthorized access to IT equipment at edge computing sites, proper physical security is critical and requires: + + * Physical space monitoring, with environmental sensors for temperature and humidity + * Access control, with biometric sensors as an option + * Audio and video surveillance and monitoring with recording + * If possible, install IT equipment within a secure enclosure + + + +**Rapid deployments** + +The [benefits of edge computing][3] are significant, especially the ability to bring bandwidth-intensive computing closer to the user, which leads to faster speed to market and greater productivity. + +Create a holistic plan that will enable the company to quickly deploy edge sites, while ensuring resiliency and reliability. That means having a standardized, repeatable process including: + + * Pre-configured, integrated equipment that combines server, storage, networking, and software in a single enclosure — a prefabricated micro data center, if you will + * Designs that specify supporting racks, UPSs, PDUs, cable management, airflow practices, and cooling systems + + + +These best practices as well as a balanced, systematic approach to edge computing deployments will ensure the always-on availability that today’s employees and users have come to expect. + +Learn how to enable resiliency within your edge computing deployment at [APC.com][4]. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3386438/3-essentials-for-achieving-resiliency-at-the-edge.html#tk.rss_all + +作者：[Anne Taylor][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://www.networkworld.com/author/Anne-Taylor/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2019/04/istock-900882382-100792635-large.jpg +[2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfsCTFSH6Jc +[3]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3342455/how-edge-computing-will-bring-business-to-the-next-level.html +[4]: https://www.apc.com/us/en/solutions/business-solutions/edge-computing.jsp
