Lumen® Edge Computing Solutions support: Overview

Edge computing can help by bringing computation and storage closer to the devices that generate data, empowering you to obtain real-time market insights quickly and efficiently from more sources—and to use that knowledge to differentiate your enterprise. Moving workloads to where digital interactions occur can help improve user experiences, increase application performance, lower costs and minimize risk. Edge computing empowers organizations to achieve these outcomes by supplying the capability to store data efficiently, secure the environment and deliver applications that meet your IT and operational requirements.

Edge Computing APIs

The Lumen Edge platform provides on-demand provisioning, monitoring, and logging of low-latency compute nodes. The Edge Compute APIs allow you to directly call APIs from your own application instead of having to sign in to a Lumen system or front-end application to get information or complete actions.  This enables a more efficient process for provisioning compute instances, monitoring logs, viewing statistics, and managing workloads.
