Traditional load balancing has always been a struggle to adapt Internet structures for data increase. But at the edge, the game changes.

In this article, you will discover how edge computing can help banks in this constant modernization, also making it easier for the developers working on companies in the banking industry. Check five major benefits this technological infrastructure offers the sector.

Edge computing is a key component for modernizing web applications and accelerating digital transformation. However, those who are not familiar with this technology often have doubts about how much it can contribute to businesses. Even managers who have small IT teams and budgets sometimes do not know if its implementation is financially viable.

We may not always be aware of it, but the computers and gadgets we use are in constant communication. For this to happen, the existence of common standards and protocols for computer networks and the Internet is fundamental. In this blog, we explain what the OSI and TCP/IP models are and their importance for the existence of the Internet as we know it today.

Right now, in the months before Black Friday, it is particularly vital for e-commerces wishing to stay competitive to ensure that they’ve done everything in their power to ready their system for the incoming flood of online purchases. That can include the piecemeal replacement of outdated tools in key areas like load balancing and caching, but if you’re looking for a more holistic approach to overhauling your system, this may be the perfect time to move your data to the edge, just in time to take advantage of it’s low latency power this holiday season.

Who has never been afraid to put their credit card details on a website? I have and I guess you have felt that way before, too. Having this thought is, without a doubt, something very common in our lives, since almost everything today can be done in the virtual world – a situation that became even more evident during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Have you ever thought about how many times a day you visit a website? This is so common in our lives that it wouldn't be a stretch to say that, for some people, the Internet is as essential as the air we breathe. And in that short period of time between typing the URL (Uniform Resource Locator), the website's address, and the page actually appearing on your screen, some things happen during this process – and one of them is the execution of the HTTP protocol.

Website fault-tolerance is critical. Your website is more than just a series of pretty pages. It’s a bridge, connecting your enterprise to all of your customers, and to all of those visitors who could turn into customers if given the chance. Because this bridge plays such a vital role for you, every aspect of it can and should be optimized to improve the visitor experience.

This past June, 3GPP completed Release 16, which not only provided support for ultra-low latency communications (URLLC) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC), but also helped realize another Industrial IoT building block: private networks. Private networks are cellular networks used by individual enterprises or other organizations, such as police stations or fire departments, and configured for the organization’s individual needs.

Fully harnessing the power of 5G, the fifth generation of mobile networks, is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. 5G’s game-changing performance is due to its ability to run over radio frequencies in higher parts of the spectrum than is supported by today’s 3G and 4G networks. However, it will cost billions of dollars for telcos to pay for spectrum bands and build the cell towers and antennas needed to scale 5G networks, and consumers won’t be able to use these networks until they buy devices that can connect to 5G’s sub-6 GHz and mmWave frequencies. In other words, until 5G infrastructure is widely available, consumers won’t be motivated to buy 5G devices, and until more people are using 5G devices, there’s no reason to scale 5G infrastructure.
