A centre and cloud enterprise
services, has reported an
increase in demand for its services from
companies looking to secure Business
Continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the global lockdown, various
sectors relied on cloud and data centre
services to achieve a strong and reliable
infrastructure to support the surge in
demand from employees and customers.
As the lockdown lifts, businesses around
the world are adapting to new ways of
working and Aruba Enterprise is supporting
the continued shift to cloud infrastructure.
Aruba Enterprise has worked with
customers from multiple industries
to provide a cloud infrastructure that
supports remote working and the
digitalisation of processes. With a

procedures, Aruba Enterprise worked
with its customers to enhance their ability
to operate as a digital enterprise.
The Aruba Enterprise cloud infrastructure
provides users with a highly flexible and
customisable platform that provides
businesses with the services they require
to optimise their processes.
The increase in remote working has also
created a focus on cybersecurity for all
businesses. Through its virtualised cloudbased
backup and Disaster Recovery
services, together with dedicated
appliance-based backup infrastructure,
Aruba Enterprise has been able to offer
practical technical measures to boost IT
infrastructure security.
Veea Edge platform enables Augmented Reality
for Smart City
eea, a pioneer in smart
V Edge connectivity and
computing, has announced
that Seongnam, South Korea’s Smart
City project, is using Veea Smart
Edge Nodes to enhance its latest
cultural exhibits with Augmented
Reality (AR) technology. The
Seongnam Cultural Foundation’s
Independent Activist Webtoon Project
exhibit uses AR to delight, engage
and educate visitors as they learn
about the lives and spirits of 100
historically important activists.
AR software running on the Veea
Platform allows visitors to view and
hear webtoon animated characters
as they move through the exhibit.
Doodleis, an AR application
development firm, worked with
Veea to bring animated 3D webtoon
characters to life on smartphone
screens. Exhibit visitors can even take
selfies with the characters and view
giant 3D elephants and rabbits playing in
the exhibit plaza grass.
According to MarketsandMarkets
Research, the AR market will grow from
US$10 billion in 2019 to over US$70 billion
in 2024. Engaging AR applications must
be hyper-responsive, but processing
performed in cloud data centres
located hundreds or thousands of miles
away from users adds unacceptable
delay. Local ‘Edge cloud’ processing is
increasingly critical as AR moves from
novelty to necessity across a broad
swath of markets, including industrial,
education and healthcare.
