A trending IT and network architecture in which the cloud (virtual compute and storage resources) is scattered across multiple sites closer to the edge of the network, where content is both created and consumed, to meet the expected
Quality of Experience (QoE) of a new generation of cloud-native applications that are compute-intensive and latency-sensitive. Traditional centralized cloud architectures will not meet QoE expectations for these applications and will require a more dynamic and distributed cloud model. These applications can be both end-user focused or network driven (such as those enabling C-RAN virtualization at hub sites).
