The Metaverse from Edge to Cloud – Why Open Matters – Tom Golway, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The metaverse has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact as a society. The development of an open Metaverse will drive innovation, creating new economic opportunities, while enabling users to control their digital identity and assets. For the metaverse to reach its full potential, it must be built on open standards and principles that ensure interoperability, accessibility, and innovation. The complexity of the Metaverse involves the orchestration, processing, storage, and transportation of large datasets from edge to cloud. A heterogeneous infrastructure that integrates edge, cloud, networking, and data technologies will be necessary to support the various workloads and experiences in the Metaverse. Optimization for the Metaverse will require the underlying infrastructure to support plasticity – where the underlying physical infrastructure is enriched and presented to the platform as an optimized ecosystem based on service requirements. We will present the infrastructure challenges faced and latest innovations in the journey toward the Open Metaverse and thoughts on how and why open communities are critical to achieve the ultimate value that the Metaverse can deliver.
