Three bits of interesting infrastructure news to finish your Friday with:
Lumen is taking its private cloud capabilities out to the edge. They are merging the VMware-based enterprise offering with the company’s extensive edge computing reach, which aims to hit 95% of the US population with 5ms latency or less. The idea is to offer enterprises the automated turnup of pre-built computing resources closer to eyeballs across Lumen’s footprint. Lumen’s Edge Private Cloud is also available to 2,200 third party data centers around the world.
