DENVER, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumen
Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) has introduced Lumen Edge Private Cloud,
providing pre-built infrastructure for high performance private
computing connected to a global fiber network. Lumen Edge Private
Cloud is fully managed by Lumen and helps businesses go-to-market
quickly with the capacity needed for interaction-intensive
applications.
"Lumen has decades of experience helping our customers implement
private cloud solutions for critical workloads, and now we are
extending our private cloud capabilities onto our ultra-low latency
edge platform," said Chris
McReynolds, vice president of cloud edge product management
for Lumen. "We can help our customers enhance experiences, enhance
application performance, and improve security and control — with
speed and at scale by empowering them to deploy workloads closer to
digital interactions on pre-built hardware and managed
infrastructure. With Lumen Edge Private Cloud our customers can
have a customized private cloud environment running within days,
with Lumen assisting with design, implementation, managed services,
and security consulting."
According to 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market
Intelligence, edge private cloud infrastructure has emerged as an
approach that can deliver significant technology and business
benefits to support critical industry edge workloads. Enterprise
respondents to the group's Voice of the Enterprise: Internet of
Things, Workloads and Key Projects 2021 survey cited
cost (45%), availability of supporting compute, storage, and
connectivity (44%), data sovereignty protection (42%) and location
security (40%) as top concerns when choosing a venue to execute
digital workloads for emerging use cases and applications.
"Edge private clouds combine the dynamic, flexible, scalable,
and cost-effective characteristics of the cloud with the security,
low latency, and high performance of an edge venue," said
Melanie Posey, research director,
Cloud & Managed Services Transformation with 451 Research, part
of S&P Global Market Intelligence. "An edge private cloud venue
is ideally suited for many modern workloads because it combines
current technologies and the cloud ecosystem with the ability to
flex to meet growing workload performance requirements and evolving
business demands at scale."
Lumen offers infrastructure choices and services on a platform
that enables businesses to take advantage of emerging applications
of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Lumen Edge Private
Cloud is a completely managed Infrastructure-as-a-Service that
