Defining ‘The Edge’
E
dge Computing is continuing
to increase in popularity due
to the numerous business
benefits the technology offers.
According to a new market research report
published by MarketsandMarkets, the
Edge Computing market size is expected
to grow from US$2.8 billion in 2019 to
US$9 billion by 2024, at a Compound
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.5%
during the forecast period.
Vertiv, a company which brings together
hardware, software, analytics and ongoing
services to ensure its customers’ vital
applications run continuously, perform
optimally and grow with their business
needs, has created this infographic
to present a simplified approach to
understanding a modern digital ecosystem.
The company, which estimates there will
be about 23 billion connected devices
in use by 2021, decided to analyse the
universe of Edge use cases.
It identified the top 24 use cases, based
on projected growth, criticality and
financial impact. These cases were
analysed for common characteristics such
as bandwidth, latency, availability and
security, and were categorised into one of
four archetypes.
The four archetypes are: data intensive,
machine to machine latency intensive, life
critical and human latency sensitive. ◊
