Telefonica rolls out VDC-Edge service in Andalucia

Thursday 26 November 2020 | 13:58 CET | News
Telefonica has taken advantage of its appearance at the TIS-Tourism Innovation Summit in Seville to announce the city-wide deployment of edge nodes to bring the processing and storage of data closer to customers and their devices. The company’s Virtual Data Centre Edge (VDC-Edge) infrastructure as a service has already been rolled out in Madrid and Barcelona, harnessing the proximity to end users of the plants housing the edge nodes. They connect to the company’s fibre-optic networks and mobile base stations, reducing the number of intermediate network elements and providing the highest possible speeds at a cost similar to conventional cloud solutions, said Telefonica.

In a statement, the company added that its VDC-Edge service together with its extensive fibre and 5G networks enables companies and public administrations to enjoy the benefits they would obtain if they deployed their systems and applications on-premise. The accelerated data processing capabilities and around 10-millisecond latencies will serve to power artificial Intelligence for real-time decision-making, multi-site and distributed robotics, virtual, augmented and mixed reality solutions, online video games, touch screen internet and future autonomous vehicles, among other sectors.

In addition, like cloud-based solutions, Edge Computing allows customers to access the latest technologies without having to make large investments in IT to cope with specific workload peaks, said Telefonica, adding that customers will also benefit from increased security since their data will never leave the company’s network.
