operate within a smaller hardware design;
in fact, some companies are set to launch
highly available HCI Edge Compute clusters
which are no bigger than a cup of coffee.
It is time for HCI to embrace and include
Edge Computing; doing so provides benefits

that are important to the growth of AI. It
also allows for the technology to operate
without too much human involvement,
which gives AI the opportunity to best
optimise its Machine Learning feature and
increase its efficiency on smarter decision-
making. Up until now, cloud has been
sufficient in providing AI with the platform
it needed in order to become available on
nearly every technological device.
But now, it will be the combination of HCI
and Edge Computing that gives AI the
tools to take its next big step, providing
organisations with smarter and faster
decision-making. ◊
