Cloud to Edge Computing Continuum
Cloud Computing has transformed and even revolutionized industries by offering on-demand computing services and IT resources over the internet, alleviating self-management and self-maintenance burden for individuals and businesses. The current frontier of this paradigm is “Edge Computing”, i.e., pushing data processing and storage close to—or even directly on—the data-producing devices of end-users and application environments, to facilitate the operation of latency- or privacy-sensitive applications and to avoid network uplink costs. European R&D efforts are leading the way towards the evolution of this paradigm into an intelligent Cloud-to-Edge “Continuum”, representing the seamless integration of infrastructures and technologies that spans a data value chain from device to Cloud and in-between for sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, utilities and agriculture.
Intracom Telecom is uniquely positioned, with its proven expertise and combined know-how in networking, Cloud and data-driven technologies, as well as with its innovative Edge Platform research prototype—π-Edge—that automates the lifecycle management of cloud-native (Kubernetes-based) Edge services, to support the automation of network-aware deployment and operation of cloud-native services and applications over the Cloud-to-Edge continuum. Furthermore, Intracom Telecom is leading the implementation and integration of mechanisms for a reliable, resource-efficient and performant continuum in context of 6G research and innovation projects 6G-BRICKS, 6G-INTENSE and SUNRISE-6G. In addition, the company's commercial IPTV & multi-play services platform—fs|CDN—is flexible in supporting Media Delivery Streaming use case scenarios, as representative cases of distributed applications and services over the continuum.
Intracom Telecom is a member of AIOTI and a participant of ETSI ENI and ETSI CIM.

POINT
Project Overview
As ICN research is maturing, it is still unclear how ICN could be adopted for the production networks of ISPs. POINT aspires to propose a migration path from current IP networks to ICN networks. The main vehicle of POINT's proposal is a bidirectional gateway between IP and ICN networks. This gateway will allo...
