If a business isn’t growing, it is likely on its way to extinction. For businesses, staying on a growth path requires continuous investment in new technology and service opportunities. In ensuring consistent growth for businesses to sustain and thrive, Malaysia Digital Economic Corporation (MDEC) recently announced the Digital Investments Future 5 (DIF5), in line with the MyDIGITAL blueprint to attract RM70 billion worth of investments by 2025.  

Narrowing down to the focus of DIF5, one of the key emerging technology trends in innovation includes edge computing. Local companies are gradually becoming aware of the benefits of edge computing especially in adapting to changing consumer demands. However, adoption is still low as Tech Research Asia (TRA) revealed that only 27 percent of firms in Malaysia have multiple edge computing sites. Local Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are looking for help with the adoption of edge, as well as the monitoring and management of these sites. Who better to help them tackle site management than their trusted partner?
