Edge Server Deployment Challenges: How to Overcome Them on UP Boards?

melissahankins

Hello everyone,
I am exploring edge server deployment on UP boards, and I am facing some challenges. I have gone through some articles related to edge computing deployment challenges, but I couldn't find any relevant information on how to overcome these challenges on UP boards.
Can anyone suggest some ways to overcome edge server deployment challenges on UP boards? I would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations.
Here are some common edge server deployment challenges that I have come across:
Limited Capability and Scaling Complexities
The remote and heterogeneous nature of edge computing makes physical infrastructure scaling a major challenge.
Scaling at the edge does not just mean adding more hardware at the source of the data. Rather, it extends to scaling staff, data management, security, licensing, and monitoring resources.
If not planned and executed correctly, such horizontal scaling can lead to increased costs due to overprovisioning, or suboptimal application performance due to insufficient resources.
Connectivity and Bandwidth
To optimize bandwidth costs, organizations typically allocate higher bandwidth to data centers and lower to the endpoints.
This makes uplink speed a bottleneck with applications pushing data from the cloud to the edge while the edge data simultaneously goes the other way around.
As the edge infrastructure grows, IoT traffic increases and insufficient bandwidth causes massive latency.
Security
Edge and IoT devices have lightweight OSes and limited compute and storage capabilities intended for narrow, specific tasks.
Cloud users run into more edge computing security challenges.
Can anyone suggest some ways to overcome these challenges on UP boards? I would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations.
Thank you in advance.
