Connectivity and the data plane

In this section, we cover issues related to data at rest and in motion, specifically from the perspective of edge computing, data virtualization and the edge, and transparent progressive failover starting at the edge and moving cloudward. You will learn about various options available to edge computing architectures that will assist in automating data management, placement, and migration capabilities.

Optimizing data availability without connectivity

Part and parcel of manipulating and storing data is the movement of data, which necessarily includes connectivity. But what if that connectivity is not available, is intermittent, or is slow with low throughput and high latency? How can you ensure that all local data is available to all services and applications that can access it even while remote data is not?

One technique to consider is using a data virtualization solution that can access local data in any format and allow SQL-like querying of...
