Global Edge Computing Market: Snapshot
The global edge computing market is anticipated to rise steadily in the upcoming years on the back of challenges arising from the excessive use of traditional cloud computing architecture. One of the key factors driving the global edge computing market is the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT). Edge computing eliminates the need for vast amount of data generated by IoT to be sent to data centers or clouds.
Edge computing architecture is ideally suited for a number of situations. This includes poor connectivity of IoT devices, wherein IoT devices lack seamless connectivity to a central cloud. Further, factors such as high latency, low spectral efficiency, and non-adaptive machine type of communication are some serious challenges of cloud computing architecture that are leading to a shift to edge computing framework.

Edge Computing Opens a New Edge in Cloud Computing for 5G and Other Disruptive Technologies
Advances in communication technologies have been one of the lynchpins of economic growth. Modern communications networks are the key underpinning of the myriad processes that are being digitalized every day across industries. Proponents of edge computing are pitching this as the new strategy for adding value to prospective customers in the edge computing market. Edge computing might be the new candidate in helping cloud service providers overcome the limitations of cloud computing. The concrete gains are simplifying the maintenance, reducing the cost of cooling of data center units, and reduce latency. Broadly, this is done by positioning servers, processors, data storage arrays, and other networking elements in such way that they are moved closer to the edge where these are required. Thus, edge computing architecture is highly sought-after option for several enterprise networks.
