As higher education institutions seek to modernize infrastructure, manage growing data demands and enhance security across increasingly hybrid environments, edge computing is emerging as a pivotal piece of the technology puzzle. But what does it really mean for colleges and universities — and how do you separate hype from real-world application?

Join the Center for Digital Education and HP Z for a forward-looking, jargon-free conversation that will explore:

  • What edge computing looks like and how it can serve colleges and universities
  • How edge solutions can improve responsiveness, bandwidth efficiency and data privacy on campus
  • Real use cases in areas like security monitoring, smart classrooms and decentralized research environments
  • How colleges and universities can benefit from artificial intelligence and deploying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) models
  • Infrastructure readiness and what IT leaders should consider before adoption

This discussion is for higher education leaders, IT strategists and decision-makers interested in exploring next-gen infrastructure and preparing their institutions for the future of data-driven opportunities.
