Interviews with global leaders from companies like:

What is the edge? 

If you ask 100 people to define edge, you might get 112 different answers, but we do know this much: Edge computing represents a long-term transformation of the Internet that could take decades to fully materialize.

One of the most consistent questions posed by our peers has been a very simple one: how big will the edge be? And when will it take off?

We started this podcast to answer these questions, and to keep you up to date on all the latest developments in the Edge industry.

On Over the Edge, we bring you the stories of the leaders and innovators who are pushing forward and finding new opportunities.

We will interview corporate leaders, open source experts, technologists, journalists, analysts, and the community at large. 

We discuss topics such as the technological innovations, trends, practical applications, business models and the occasional far-flug theory.

It’s a podcast for edge computing experts, as well as those who are simply trying to keep up on the industry.

It’s a podcast for innovators who are looking to their peers for best practices. 

It’s a podcast for those who are trying to drive change, rather than merely adapt to it.

So hit subscribe, sit back, and get ready to hear the secrets, strategies, and tactics of some of the best technologists in the world.

Welcome to Over the Edge.
