Learn how Edge technology can help your business perform.
At the start of a new era in computing, cloud technology is maturing and starting to show its limitations. While the cloud does make files easily accessible on almost any device, long file syncing times make it difficult to work in a fast-paced environment.
Since cloud services are entirely dependent on the internet to function, some organizations do not always have fast and reliable access to their data.
In a world where everything is becoming digital, having fast and reliable access to your files means working smart and working without interruptions. The choice to free yourself from distractions during your work day is immensely powerful.
That's why businesses across North America are using ALT Edge computing technology with ALT Managed IT to extend their capabilities.
Fast file access, from anywhere
When information is stored at the edge, where it is being produced and accessed by users and devices, organizations experience significant benefits that transform the way they work.
When staff are in the office, they have direct access to their files on the edge server. That means they can take advantage of a fast and secure local network without the need for files to sync or be processed by an external provider. When working remotely, staff always have direct access to their data through the edge network.
Cost-effective, low latency application hosting
Instead of relying on a central location–usually a datacenter that can be thousands of miles away, the edge platform brings computation and data storage closer to where it's needed.
This means that data stored on the edge does not suffer from latency issues that can affect an application's performance. In addition, organizations also save money on hosting by having the processing done locally.
Your data is your greatest asset
Your company files are your most important asset. They are your organization, and they define the relationships you have with your clients.
Many organizations entrust their business data to be hosted with external providers in the cloud. With data breaches becoming an ever-increasing threat, organizations are beginning to wonder if their data is really secure in the public cloud. Privacy issues surrounding data use by large corporations also raise concerns.
Keep it where you can see it
With ALT Edge technology, you own your data and have complete control over it. Our enterprise service team helps support and manage your organization's access to your systems and ensure your data is always secure and backed up.
Due to the distributed nature of edge technology, you can rest assured knowing your data is protected, and not subject to large-scale data breaches. You also decide how your data gets used and who it is accessed by.
Protect your business
Our edge network is protected against threats with state-of-the-art cybersecurity technologies. The network continuously monitors systems and is able to detect intrusions, file integrity issues, vulnerabilities, and can proactively contain a network threat by disabling its access to other network resources.
An agent runs at the host-level and uses anomaly and signature-based technologies to detect intrusions or software misuse. It can also be used to monitor user activities, assess system configuration, and detect vulnerabilites.
Included are security controls required by standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and others. The system aggregates and analyzes data from multiple systems, mapping security alerts with compliance requirements.
The system performs various countermeasures to address active threats, such as blocking a threat's access to a system when certain criteria are met. It also indentifies indicators of compromise and performs other live forensics.
Extend your capabilities
We are constantly working with the development community to integrate existing technologies and create new ones to support businesses on our edge platform.
Every new feature or technology we add is with our clients in mind, as we're always asking how we can improve their day-to-day operations and allow them to extend their capabilities. Our edge network is continuously evolving and we are happy to share this progress with our community.
