TAO Remote Edge Compute (TREC) is an AT&T Business managed solution powered by Ciena for virtual network functions and IT applications. TREC leverages the functionality of AT&T’s Total Access Orchestration (TAO) - an ecosystem of modular networking building blocks. TREC provides enterprises with simplicity and faster time to market for VNF and IT networking needs. It allows businesses to combine network functions such as SD-WAN with IT functions on a single device, meaning less power, less space, and less headache. TREC is ideal for edge data center applications. IT staff will have more time to focus on other priorities while AT&T manages the hardware, the infrastructure, and even some of your IT functions if desired.
