Description
Edge computing refers to processing and computing data as close to the point of origin as feasible, enabling near-real-time decisions and insights to drive better outcomes. It is computing that moves intelligence, processing, analytics, and communication capabilities closer to the data source. The goal is to reduce latency while ensuring highly efficient networks, operations, service delivery, and user experience.
Edge data centers are ideal for workloads that require low latency, high performance, and real-time processing. It is a preferred choice for content and media companies and enterprises looking for real-time analytics, low-latency, and experience-driven applications.
Edge data centers are strategically distributed across Tier II locations to address emerging local workloads. In these locations, edge data centers address regulatory compliance and data sovereignty concerns by keeping specific data within geographical boundaries and provide greater control and security.
This report highlights the key trends creating opportunities in the edge data center space. It covers a strategic imperative, detailed overview of edge computing, technological shifts accelerating the need for edge data centers, service provider initiatives, ways forward, and growth opportunities.
