Dell Technologies introduces Project Frontier, an edge operations software platform integrated with Dell’s edge portfolio, that enables customers to manage edge applications and infrastructure for deployments.



The complexities of edge operations, in locations from manufacturing floors and retail stores to remote wind turbines, are growing as more organizations want to manage and secure data at the source but have limited IT support to do it.

According to a 2022 IDC survey, 42% of businesses say the most challenging aspect of edge deployments is putting together an entire edge solution. With the amount of data generated growing nine times annually and expected to reach 221 exabytes by 2026, organizations need a simple and effective way to manage and secure the diverse ecosystem of edge technologies.
