Mimik and IBM team up to make edge computing resources more accessible
SHARE
Edge computing startup mimik Technology Inc. is collaborating with IBM Corp. to create edge-based computing resources that it says will help to accelerate automation and digital transformation in healthcare, manufacturing, retail and other industries.
In its pitch announced today, mimik said the growth of trends such as the “internet of things” and 5G has resulted in the emergence of billions of connected devices and applications that are located at the edge of the network. But these devices and apps all rely on computing resources located in centralized data centers, and they’re becoming a strain on bandwidth and harder to manage as a result.
