Fog Computing: A Reference Architecture

As AI platforms release new capabilities on a weekly cycle, the enterprises locked into vendor-specific collection mechanisms face brutal switching costs every time something better emerges. Those standardized on OpenTelemetry change a routing rule and can benefit from huge time savings.

Identity is the prerequisite for controlling, monitoring, and holding agents accountable. With most organizations lacking full visibility into the agents operating across their environments, identity must be in place before those agents are granted access to data or the ability to act.

When real-time data is the lifeblood of the business, relying on “good enough” infrastructure replication is a gamble. True resilience means separating your data recovery strategy from your infrastructure availability strategy, ensuring that no matter what hits your real-time backbone, your business can always recover.

By gaining clear visibility into how AI is used, businesses can provide support where it’s needed most and enable employees to use AI more effectively. The result is a workforce where all employees can unlock the full potential of AI, turning inconsistent AI adoption into true ROI.
