Editor's comments #1:

For the edge is referring to edge computing.

The concept of edge computing is meant to complement cloud computing, where the latter means storage and computation at the centralized servers which may result in slow responses due to network issues for mission critical applications; therefore, edge computing literally means moving computation from cloud to the edges of the network,which is at the deployment sites.

Examples of edge computing:

  • Retailers are implementing more automated checkouts and dynamic signage, real-time store traffic monitoring, inventory and fulfilling.
  • Manufacturers are further automating assembly lines with predictive maintenance alerts and utilizing smart cameras for safety and quality inspections.
  • Healthcare turns to edge computing for remote patient monitoring and medical device integration.

Embedded means compact, high performance and durable.

In short, think of an embedded computer as a mini computing server.

 Offering:

Building from the existing edge portfolio from Lenovo, the ThinkEdge devices – the new ThinkEdge SE30 and ThinkEdge SE50 – are small, rugged, and powerful enough to meet the demanding needs of enterprise data processing, security and scalability at the edge.

Key Features / Specs:

  • 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 vPro® processors for industrial computing.
  • Up to 16GB memory and 1TB storage.
  • Fan-less, operational temperature range of -20 to 60 Celsius.
  • Both 4G 1 and 5G 1 modules.
