What is Edge Computing?

Edge computing is a web-based solution that decreases the number of processes running in the cloud and moves them to a local device such as user computers, edge servers, and IoT devices. Reduces latency and improves process efficiency by minimizing the amount of remote communication between client and server. Therefore, some organizations adopt edge computing to reduce bandwidth usage, server resource, and associated costs. Edge computing is a rising trend in big data by moving device workloads closer to users and overhead in centralized data centers.

Growth Driver

Increasing adoption of the IoT and edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the industries

The proliferation of the Internet of things (IoT) IoT has significantly risen in data, owing to which organizations are gradually turning to centralized cloud computing and storage solutions. The growth in the adoption of Internet of things (IoT) devices in various applications. Migrating your entire IT infrastructure to the cloud introduces delays and economic feasibility issues. Therefore, organizations using IoT sensors, actuators and other devices are gradually looking for edge computing solutions such as hyper-localized data centers, devices and edge nodes. The rise in the number of connected devices worldwide has enhanced the growth of edge artificial intelligence, which are the factors that drive the growth of the edge computing market.

Opportunity

Rise of autonomous vehicles infrastructure

Growing demands and several technological improvements have led to the proliferation of autonomous vehicles infrastructure. Edge computing enables autonomous vehicles to process, store, and conversation data in real-time with nominal potential across vehicles and through higher networks. Autonomous vehicles broadcast data about weather, road, and light conditions and use the same to control, navigate, and drive. Edge data centers collect and send valued data back to the automakers. There are great opportunities for edge computing to support the development of autonomous vehicles. Many companies have started reinventing the cloud through edge computing to support autonomous and connected car technologies, which are further expected to boost the growth of the edge computing market.

Restraints

Lack of Edge Monitoring Devices and Capital Expenditure for Infrastructure

Companies are fast moving to digital by adopting new technologies to automate and accelerate their business processes efficiently. Edge computing can reduce data transmission and storage costs through localized processing, but investment in edge infrastructure still contributes to enterprise capital expenditure. Companies looking for a comprehensive edge computing solution will invest heavily in edge nodes, other edge devices, and edge data centers. Furthermore, the lack of edge monitoring devices with the release of edge computing and intelligent performance monitoring platform is still under development to monitor the problems faced by edge application devices.
