Your server technology can be your greatest asset or your biggest liability. Where does your business fall on that spectrum?

Data volume is growing exponentially. This is common knowledge. Less widely recognized, however, is the strain this massive influx of data puts on legacy servers. These systems were never designed to handle such diverse and intensive processing needs. With mounting pressure to make important decisions based on an inordinate amount of data, your outdated servers can set you up for failure—creating not just technical issues, but also bottlenecks that can cripple business operations.

Advantages of Modern Server Technology

Modern server technology, on the other hand, is engineered with the explosive data growth in mind—purpose-built to manage the volume and complexity of the current (and future) data-driven ecosystem—and here’s how:

• Processing power:  Modern servers have multi-core processors, giving them the horsepower to process large datasets and complex algorithms. With that, your IT infrastructure can respond quickly to evolving business requirements and adapt to changing data loads.
• Advanced storage:  By using solid-state drives (SSDs) and improved RAID configurations, modern servers can deliver faster data access and protect your information—even in the face of potential system failures. This means fewer interruptions, smoother operations, and less downtime.
• Energy- and cost-efficiencies:  Older servers use massive energy to remain operational. With the ability to dynamically adjust resource allocation based on real-time workload demands, newer servers are designed to be more energy efficient. This brings operational costs down and lessens the environmental impact of your data center.
• Scalability:  As your business needs change and data ebbs and flows, your server infrastructure must be able to scale up or down in response. Modern servers have flexible configurations with modular designs that allow for quick adjustments and reconfigurations to keep your operations running smoothly despite fluctuating demands.
• Virtualization capabilities:  Modern servers thrive in virtualized environments. When multiple virtual machines are able to run simultaneously on a single physical server, it optimizes resource usage, reduces hardware costs, and simplifies management tasks.
• Integrated security features:  Modern server technology includes robust security capabilities such as hardware-based encryption, advanced intrusion detection, and proactive security protocols. These features actively monitor and respond to potential threats, safeguarding your data against external attacks and internal vulnerabilities.

Legacy systems are limited by their rigid architecture, making it difficult to adjust to new technologies, grow and scale as needed, and adapt to data demands. Newer, more modern servers are flexible, agile, and can respond quickly to changing business needs, ensuring your infrastructure isn’t just keeping up, but one step ahead.

In 2024, edge devices are projected to hit a staggering 17.08 billion. And according to IDC, the data volume generated at the edge will skyrocket at a compound annual growth rate of 34% through 2027, surpassing growth rates of core data centers and endpoint devices. This surge is ushering in a new era of edge computing that will fundamentally reshape our data-driven world.

Edge computing is no longer a peripheral concept but a central player in our global network infrastructure. Though this advancement brings processing closer to data sources for increased efficiency, it also introduces a series of concerning security challenges. Understanding these vulnerabilities is essential to maintaining a robust security posture in increasingly complex network environments.

Five Critical Edge Computing Security Considerations:

1. Increased attack surface : As the edge grows, so does your business’s attack surface. With billions of devices operating at the edge, malicious actors have more potential entry points than ever before—and growing. Without robust and responsive security strategies that can quickly adapt to threats at any point in your network, you risk falling victim to cyber-attacks that can lead to data breaches, operational disruptions, and significant financial and reputational damage.
2. Data privacy and compliance: With processing occurring closer to where data is generated, not only must you manage the sheer volume of data coming in, but also ensure it complies with a complex web of data protection laws that vary by region and industry (e.g., GDPR, HIPPA, CCPA), to avoid breaches that could compromise customer privacy and your company’s integrity.
3. Network security: As data moves between edge devices and the central network, it becomes more vulnerable to unauthorized access or interception. To protect the data in transit at every point of vulnerability, robust encryption and secure communication protocols are essential to keep cyber hackers out and confidential information safe.
4. Device and endpoint management: With the sheer volume and variety of devices in your edge environment, centralized management and security monitoring has become more complex, but critical. To maintain integrity across the network, you need to be able to continuously identify, authenticate, and monitor the status of each device, while also ensuring they meet security compliance across its lifecycle.
5. Scalability of security solutions: As edge computing environments grow, security strategies must grow to evolve with it. Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Today, a more flexible and intelligent system is required—one that can quickly learn from and respond to new threats as they emerge.

Edge computing offers tremendous potential to drive efficiency and innovation. But if your edge environment is not adequately protected, you’re opening the door to new, highly damaging threats that could undermine your entire network. With Aruba ClearPass, a robust network access solution that secures connectivity across an organization, you can safely realize anywhere, anytime connectivity while still maintaining a strong security posture that protects your business.
