Business driver

With coronavirus corona virus spreading worldwide, 62% Rural kids are missing their classes since the Pandemic started, due to no or very low internet bandwidth, while . While teachers and students are predominantly from surrounding areas, and there is no need for the video feeds to be processed 100s or 1000s of miles away from the rural network. Processing at the edge will allow localized educational platform to operate with low internet bandwidth.
Patients and doctors need very high definition video to  engage  to engage with real impact.
 5G provides a very big low latency/high bandwidth opportunity but unless the processing is done in at the edge, near to where the doctor and patient is, the opportunity can't be utilized to improve doctor-patient engagements.

Business use cases

1.  video conference on edge

2.  AR/VR with edge

3. EHR ( Electronic Health Record)

4. Wellness/RPG Games

1.  Video Processing : Enhance Engagement Quality, Augment Video with information, Create Virtual environment, Transcribe engagements
2.  Telehealth : Appointment Scheduling, Payment Processing, Electronic Health Records
3.  Gamification : Reinforce Corrective Behavior, Track Progress, Generate Trends
4.  Learning Management System : AI Teacher Assist, Early Progress Prediction

Business Cost - Initial Build Cost Target Objective

Move currently public cloud-based zoom video applications to Host Video applications, Health Application, LMS on the edge, we can still remain the control plane on the cloud, and media plane to be close to customer site such as MEC servers in telco central offices.

We choose X86 server to deploy the MEC platform to reduce the cost.

In order to support vertical industry specific AR/XR features during video conference, X86 server with GPU inside. 

•2 X86 Nodes ( The PowerEdge XE2420 provides a short-depth, dense, Dual-socket, 2U server)

•Kubernetes v 1.17 17 (Open Source)

•GPU •GPU (NVIDIA V100/s or NVIDIA RTX6000) for AR/VR and AI 

Business Cost – Target Operational Objective

It more like a cloud platform, but it's specific for the edge site.  

•It needs Helm and Ansible for the automation and management tools to keep operational cost lower

•Maintain a mixed edge platform including x86 and ArmARM. 

•Kubernetes v1.17 

•Android 10.0

•Android, IOS 

•GPU •GPU ( NVIDIA V100/s or NVIDIA RTX6000)

•Both Arm ARM and X86 can support it.

Security need
