VCF 9.1: Scaling Secure Edge Deployments

The Four S's: Security, Scale, Speed, Simplicity

“We're actually bringing that same level of security... to the edge as well. And that actually makes more sense because when you talk through some of these attack concerns... these remote sites, there's sometimes like a back closet with a door that an auditor said was a lock.”

Security at the Edge: From Data Centers to Remote Sites

“These capabilities, they kind of make more sense there. Some of the concerns about Secure Boot and things like that, that chain of trust of firmware attacks... there's a little bit more of an attack surface there.”

Scaling to Thousands of Edge Sites with Zero-Touch Provisioning

“I can have effectively a low-paid person at that remote site... that doesn't have the technical skills to essentially do the network connection, do the power connection, and essentially everything else is done by the system.”

Use Cases & Future of Edge: AI, Manufacturing, and Beyond

“Faster cars ship faster. That is a brilliant idea to take what was such a dated static factory thing, single-purpose machine to actually make that software define.”
