Oracle has unveiled a new device in order to bring its core cloud computing infrastructure closer to the edge.
The Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure (REI) is a new pre-configured device that’s designed to be deployed in order to operate workloads in remote locations. Put simply, the device enables applications to process the data generated in edge locations.
“They can put this in the back of a plane, they can put it out on an oil rig, they can take this to the polar observatory or anywhere you think that you want the benefits of cloud computing but you don’t necessarily have the infrastructure,” Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure said during the company’s Oracle Live launch event.
